Wooden Colourful Expression Bead Set (3Yr+)

Wooden Colourful Expression Bead Set with Stringing Rope
Promoting Emotional Literacy, Fine Motor Development & Inclusive Learning – EYLF-Aligned for Special Needs and Early Childhood Play

The Wooden Colourful Expression Bead Set with Stringing Rope is a joyful and educational resource thoughtfully designed to support children and adults with special needs, including those with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and social-emotional challenges. Each wooden bead features expressive faces that help children recognise and name emotions, while the stringing activity develops fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and focus.

This set aligns closely with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), offering children a playful, meaningful way to explore identity, emotional wellbeing, and communication. Through creative play and open-ended interaction, learners develop foundational skills for self-regulation and social awareness in an inclusive and supportive environment.

EYLF-Aligned Learning & Inclusion Benefits:

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
  By engaging with expressive beads, children explore their own emotions and those of others, developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, empathy, and emotional identity.

• Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
  Identifying emotions through play promotes emotional regulation and resilience, especially for children with special needs who may struggle with expressing or processing feelings.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  Stringing beads strengthens fine motor skills, concentration, and persistence, supporting both cognitive and physical development.

• Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
  The expressive faces on the beads provide a visual language for children to discuss feelings, improving social communication and emotional vocabulary, especially helpful for non-verbal or shy learners.

• Practice Principle: Equity and Inclusion
  This resource acknowledges diverse abilities and encourages inclusive participation, giving all children equal opportunity to learn and express themselves in developmentally appropriate ways.
