How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The A2 Rectangle Colour Changing Light Panel encourages children to explore and investigate through play. Its illuminated surface allows for hands-on experimentation with light, colour, and shape, fostering curiosity and inquiry as children manipulate various objects on the panel.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides an engaging platform for children to observe and understand fundamental concepts of science and discovery. By interacting with the light panel, children can explore cause and effect, as well as develop problem-solving skills as they figure out how different materials react to light and colour changes.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up the light panel in a science corner where children can explore different materials and their properties in relation to light. Use the panel to create a calming space for children to engage in quiet reflection or focused activities.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create shadow puppets on the light panel, promoting storytelling and imaginative play. Provide various transparent and translucent materials for children to layer on the panel, allowing them to experiment with colour mixing and light diffusion.

Provocation Ideas
Invite children to observe how different objects cast shadows on the light panel and discuss their findings. Use the light panel to introduce concepts of colour theory by having children mix coloured filters and observe the resulting hues.
