How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Daisy Bowls Set encourages children to engage in play-based learning through sorting and counting activities. By using the bowls to explore various materials, children can investigate concepts such as quantity, size, and categorisation, fostering their natural curiosity and inquiry skills.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The natural wooden bowls provide a tactile resource for children to experiment with sorting and classifying objects. This hands-on experience supports their understanding of mathematical concepts and enhances their problem-solving abilities as they determine how to group items based on different attributes.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
