Your toddler’s mind is constantly building frameworks that help it organize and interpret information. 🧠 Once one of these schemas is established, your child can use it as a blueprint to process similar information. This way, they don’t have to start with a blank slate every time they face a new situation or object. When your child repeats a play activity—like filling and dumping out containers—again and again, it’s more than just quirky toddler behavior. This is how they gather the clues to form a schema. 🤓 One common type of play schema, for example, revolves around connection. You may notice your toddler jam together two pegs from the Wooden Stacking Pegboard until they finally connect. In doing this, they construct a model in their mind of how objects physically fit together. Later, they’ll use that knowledge to connect two puzzle pieces or snap together a side-release buckle. 🧩 #Lovevery #ToddlerPlay #Schemas #ToddlerDevelopment #CognitiveDevelopment
