The dinosaurs are at it again… this time peeling an orange! When children rip, peel, or squash things, they’re exploring the transformation play schema, discovering how materials change when they’re handled, squished, or torn apart. It’s not just mess-making. It’s science, sensory play, and discovery all rolled into one. Follow @play_schemas for more ways to make sense of your child’s play this Dinovember. | Play Schemas

It might look like simple baby chatter, but this is serve and return in action. When I pause and wait for my baby to ‘reply’, I’m showing him that his sounds matter. This back-and-forth (serve and return) helps him learn that communication is a two-way exchange, the same foundation that later supports language, play, and social skills. Long before children start talking or pretending, they’re learning the rhythm of connection through these tiny moments of turn-taking. Language and play grow from

And if you can make Gingerbread you can make playdough! Comment ‘Gingerbread’ for a link to my free PFD that outlines how to make baking with your young children a lot less stressful (through understanding Play Schemas), and a gingerbread recipe! It’s pretty much failsafe, I make it with my 2 and 4 year old boys multiple times through the year! | Play Schemas

Rope is a tool, not a toy… but gosh, it is fun to play with. And if you’ve ever watched a toddler discover a piece of rope, you’ll know exactly why. Kids are drawn to rope because it taps into so many play schemas at once: trajectory (swinging, flicking, throwing), connection (tying, looping, fastening things together), and even transporting (dragging items along). It’s open-ended, it moves in unpredictable ways, and it lets them experiment with cause and effect in a really satisfying, hands-on

Ever watched your toddler mix the strangest combinations… milk, weetbix, banana, yoghurt, even flowers… and thought, what on earth are they doing? That’s the transformation play schema in action. Children exploring this schema are fascinated by change, how materials transform when combined, mixed, squashed, or melted. It’s why they love potion play, baking, or mud kitchen “soups.” Through this kind of experimenting, they’re building early scientific thinking, creativity, and sensory understandin

That mountain of sand hiding in your toddler’s gumboots isn’t just mess, it’s evidence of rich, meaningful play. When children dig, pour, and tip sand, they’re exploring many powerful play schemas, such as: Trajectory: discovering how things move through space as they pour and tip. Transporting: carrying sand from one place to another (possibly in their gumboots!), building coordination and purpose. Enclosing: filling up buckets, shoes, and containers to understand boundaries and containment. Th
