Bright Beginnings on Country
Foundational numeracy for early learners
These EYLF-aligned resources will have your little learners counting with natural materials, creating patterns from Country, sorting and grouping with purpose, and exploring First Nations songs and symbols.
Through observation, movement, and play, young learners gain foundational skills to help them enter primary school with confidence and belonging. Five simple take-home activities also invite families to continue the learning together.
