How this product aligns with the EYLF
Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The Small-Medium Atlantic Trike Set promotes physical wellbeing by encouraging active outdoor play. As children navigate their environment on trikes, they develop confidence and independence, which are essential for their overall growth and self-esteem.
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The trikes facilitate play-based learning by providing children with opportunities to explore movement, balance, and coordination. Through riding and interacting with peers, children engage in inquiry as they experiment with speed, direction, and spatial awareness.
Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas
Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a designated outdoor area where children can freely ride the trikes, encouraging them to explore different pathways and terrains. Incorporate traffic signs and road markings to create a mini-road system that promotes understanding of safety and movement.
Play-Based Activity Ideas
Organise a trike relay race where children work in teams to navigate a course, fostering cooperation and communication skills. Create a storytelling session where children share their adventures while riding the trikes, enhancing their language and imagination.
Provocation Ideas
Introduce a variety of materials such as cones or hoops for children to create obstacle courses, encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking as they navigate the challenges. Use the trikes to explore different themes, such as “transportation,” by integrating related books and discussions into their play.
