How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The My First Natural Block Set encourages children to engage in open-ended play, allowing them to explore concepts of balance and gravity through their own experimentation. As children manipulate the blocks, they develop their inquiry skills by testing their ideas and discovering new ways to construct and create.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This block set provides a foundation for early STEM learning as children engage in building activities that require critical thinking and problem-solving. By stacking and arranging the blocks, children can explore spatial awareness and cause-and-effect relationships, fostering their understanding of basic engineering principles.

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