Скачать или смотреть PLAY SCHEMAS | What they are, why they matter, and how to spot them | create best toddler activities

Does your toddler throw EVERYTHING? Do you constantly find things in weird places because your toddler moved them? Have you noticed your toddler loves hanging upside down?

All of these could possibly be explained by play schemas! In child development play schemas are patterns of behavior seen in play. There are 9 play schemas: transportation, trajectory, rotation, positioning, connection, enclosure, enveloping, transforming, and orientation. This video goes through why play schemas are helpful in understanding your child's behavior and how to spot them. It also includes activities for each of the play schemas.

This video will help you identify what your child is interested in and prepare an environment and activities to support their current development. It also discusses what play schemas have to do with Montessori (hint, they actually aren't Montessori but they are well aligned!)
