How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Primary Science Colour Mixing Glasses encourage children to explore and inquire about the properties of colour through hands-on experiences. By using the interchangeable lenses, children can experiment with colour mixing and observe changes in their environment, fostering a sense of curiosity and engagement in their learning.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides opportunities for children to engage in scientific exploration as they learn about primary and secondary colours. The process of combining lenses to create new colours promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as children hypothesise about the outcomes of their experiments.

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