EYLF-Aligned Learning & Play Benefits:
🌿 Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
As children engage with the hedgehog toy, they develop confidence in their physical abilities and sensory preferences. It allows each child to express themselves through movement, touch, and exploration in a safe, calming manner.
🌈 Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
Designed with sensory processing in mind, the toy offers therapeutic benefits, supporting emotional regulation and focus. Its squishy texture and colourful visuals make it especially beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, or sensory sensitivities, helping them feel grounded and calm.
🔍 Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
The toy encourages exploration and problem-solving through sorting, colour matching, and manipulation of the beads. It enhances fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration while inviting open-ended play.
🗣️ Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
Children can describe what they see, feel, and do, building their vocabulary and expressive language. This toy also encourages turn-taking and cooperative play, nurturing communication and social connection.
