How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Snowflake Stained Glass Frames provide children with an opportunity to explore their creativity and express themselves through art. By gluing coloured tissue paper or cellophane onto the frames, children can experiment with colour, shape, and design, fostering their artistic skills and personal expression.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage in this craft activity, they can discuss their choices of colours and shapes, enhancing their vocabulary and communication skills. Collaborative projects can encourage social interaction, allowing children to share ideas and work together, thereby strengthening their relationships with peers.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
