Beauty and fashion

Beauty and fashion are exciting and legitimate interests for young children. There are so many materials, tools, textures, colours and sensations to play with!

Parents and educators may become concerned about the negative influence of popular culture. However, the topics of beauty and fashion are much broader than the latest Western trends on Instagram.

Cultures around the world have diverse perspectives on what is beautiful. Early childhood educators can help children receive positive and inclusive messages about appearance and personal style.

The benefits of beauty and fashion

The benefits of beauty and fashion include:

  • social awareness
  • social development.

The Interest Forest

The Interest Forest was created by a small team of Australian early childhood teachers. We believe in less paperwork and more play.

We have collected hundreds of children's interests, linked to the EYLF, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your program. We hope you enjoy exploring our Forest of interest topics.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and thank them for caring for our land, coastlines and waterways.

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present with extended respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
