How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Five Senses Chartlet serves as a dynamic visual resource that encourages children to engage in play-based exploration of their sensory experiences. By prompting discussions and inquiries about sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, educators can facilitate meaningful interactions that deepen children’s understanding of how they perceive the world around them.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
This chartlet provides a foundation for language development as children learn to articulate their sensory experiences. Through group discussions and collaborative activities, children can expand their vocabulary and practice social skills, fostering connections with peers as they share their thoughts and ideas about their senses.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
