Wooden Animal Feeding Game

Wooden Animal Feeding Game (EYLF & Inclusion Focus)

Bring learning to life with this engaging Wooden Animal Feeding Game, designed to spark curiosity, imagination, and inclusive play in early childhood environments.

This vibrant set features adorable wooden animal boards with open mouths, inviting children to “feed” them a variety of colourful wooden food pieces. The activity encourages storytelling, role play, and social interaction as children take turns choosing, naming, and offering different foods.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), this game supports:

• Outcome 1 – Children have a strong sense of identity: By engaging in shared play, children build confidence, practise turn-taking, and experience a sense of belonging in group activities.

• Outcome 3 – Children have a strong sense of wellbeing: Sorting and selecting foods promotes healthy eating conversations, fine motor skills, and hand–eye coordination.

• Outcome 5 – Children are effective communicators: Encourages vocabulary development as children name foods, describe tastes, and engage in imaginative dialogue.

This resource is also designed with inclusion in mind – offering multiple entry points for children with diverse abilities. The large, tactile pieces are easy to grasp, making it suitable for children with varying fine motor skills, while the open-ended play allows participation at each child’s developmental level. Food items can represent different cultural cuisines, promoting respect for diversity and encouraging conversations about family traditions.

Perfect for early learning centres, kindergartens, and home play, this Wooden Animal Feeding Game is a joyful way to build connection, communication, and cultural awareness through play.
