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.
