What are schemas?

Schemas are patterns of repeatable behaviour in children’s play .They can be seen through their movements and actions and vary from one child to another. Does your child repeatedly.......?

•Constantly tip and scatter things around the room?

•Like to collect lots of things and carry them around in a bag?

•Seem happy to push an empty pram around?

•Wrap up everything they find?

•Move things from one place to another?

Then they may be exhibiting schematic play that you can help enhance with simple activities at home. Not all children demonstrate schematic behaviour, but if they do please visit our document below to find out more and watch the video from The Hidden Gem at
