How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Crocodile Activity Wall Panels provide a dynamic and engaging resource that encourages children to explore and interact through play. By navigating the maze, experimenting with the xylophone, and manipulating the cogs, children can engage in inquiry-based learning, fostering curiosity and problem-solving skills in a playful context.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage with the various activities on the wall panel, they naturally develop language skills by describing their actions and outcomes. Collaborative play opportunities arise as children work together to solve challenges, enhancing their social interactions and imaginative play scenarios.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Create a dedicated sensory corner in the classroom where the Crocodile Activity Wall Panels can be mounted, allowing children to explore at their own pace. Integrate the panel into a themed area, such as a jungle or river, to enhance imaginative play.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to take turns navigating the maze while verbalising their strategies, promoting language development and cooperative play. Set up a music session where children can explore sound patterns using the mini xylophone, fostering creativity and auditory skills.

Provocation Ideas
Invite children to create stories about the crocodile and its adventures, using the wall panel as a storytelling prop to inspire their narratives. Pose open-ended questions about the different activities on the panel to stimulate discussion and critical thinking among peers.
