The enclosing schema is a pattern of behavior in which children create enclosures around themselves or objects. It's a natural part of a child's development and helps them understand their environment.
Gloop is an interesting mixture with a unique texture and is great for sensory play. It is also great for learning about the concepts of what a solid and liquid is. Gloop is fun and easy to make and although it can be messy, it cleans up well once the fun is over.
Children love things that spin and turn. They might turn taps on and off, trace circles round and round, or wind string. The rotation schema is a common play pattern in which children explore how things move, spin, or rotate. It's a way for children to explore circular movement.
The trajectory schema is a play pattern in which toddlers explore how objects and their own bodies move. It's one of the first schemas that babies exhibit. This may involve them watching and deliberately making objects, and themselves, move.
