How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Splats offer children an engaging way to explore colour mixing and light effects through hands-on experimentation. As they manipulate the translucent acrylic pieces, children can inquire about how colours combine and change, fostering a sense of curiosity and discovery in a play-based learning environment.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
Using the Splats encourages children to engage in scientific thinking as they observe and predict the outcomes of their colour mixing activities. This product supports the development of problem-solving skills as children experiment with different combinations and reflect on their observations, enhancing their understanding of basic scientific concepts.

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