How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Community Buildings Set of four encourages children to engage in imaginative play, allowing them to create diverse scenarios that reflect their understanding of the world around them. Through this play, children can explore community roles, fostering inquiry as they ask questions and seek solutions during their interactions.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage in pretend play with the Community Buildings, they naturally develop their language skills by communicating roles and narratives with peers. This collaborative play enhances their social skills, as they negotiate, share ideas, and express their creativity through storytelling.
