There are 9 core play schemas that children engage in to explore and make sense of how things work.

Recognizing and providing opportunities for the play schemas your children are most drawn to, and for the other schemas as well, helps to support their learning process.

Here are some easy items you can add to your environment that encourage/support the transformation play schema.

In the transformation schema, children explore change in form, state, color, or texture. In doing so, they learn more about cause & effect, scientific thinking and more.

Some of our favorite toys that aren't "toys".

Rather than try to recreate these exact "activities" (none of these moments are an activity directed by me), just add one or a couple of these items in your environment. If a child asks what it's for, simply respond "for your ideas". Then watch watch happens. 💚

"Education, for most people, means trying to lead the child to resemble the typical adult of his society.

But for me, education means making creators.

You have to make inventors, innovators... not conformists."

- Jean Piaget

As always, everything is the ideas of the children.

My hope is that you can sense the emotionally healthy environment I strive to foster here, and the empowerment & confidence that fills the children, & overflows into their work, because of it.

A child doesn’t need to be sitting at a table to be learning!

They can be moving.
Spinning. Climbing.
Walking around the room.

A regulated body might not look like a still body.
