EYLF Learning Outcomes

Outcome 4: children are confident and involved learners - Children develop a growth mindset and learning dispositions such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity.

Skills: Problem-solving

Resources Required

  • A range of natural materials such as grasses, leaves, sticks, feathers, stringy bark off gum trees, she-oke needles and paperbark (collected from the ground/dead trees – alive trees need their bark and leaves!)
  • Eggs (wooden eggs, blown eggs, paper clay eggs)
  • Small cardboard boxes (the bottom of milk cartons work well, and you can use the rest of the carton to protect seedlings in the garden).
