How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Wooden Teething Ring encourages infants and toddlers to explore their senses through tactile play. As children grasp, shake, and mouth the teether, they engage in self-directed exploration that fosters curiosity and supports their natural learning processes.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
This product provides comfort to babies during teething, promoting a sense of security and wellbeing. By allowing children to independently manage their teething discomfort, the teether supports their developing autonomy and self-regulation skills.
