How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Atlantic Medium Trike encourages children to engage in active play, promoting exploration and physical activity. As they ride, children naturally experiment with balance, speed, and direction, fostering a sense of inquiry about their physical capabilities and the environment around them.
Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
Riding the trike supports children in developing their gross motor skills and coordination, which are essential for physical wellbeing. The design allows for comfortable use, enabling children to gain confidence in their abilities and fostering a sense of independence as they navigate their surroundings.
