Play schemas are repetitive play behaviours that we see typically in infants and toddlers.
Play schema behaviours describe a lot of infant and toddler behaviour such as;
- throwing food off of a high chair
- snatching a toy from our sibling
- collecting random objects around the house
- wanting to push trolleys and prams
- wanting to line toys up in order
- wrapping objects up in paper
It's very important that we address all of these play schemas when children are at infant and toddler age as best we can, so that they don't feel overwhelmed in group play experiences when they start kindergarten.
In this workshop you will learn what play schema behaviours look like and how you can set up play experiences to support children appropriately through their play schema development.

About the presenter
Robyn Papworth has been working in the early childhood sector for the past 10 years as her son was born with dyspraxia, a movement disorder that has made it challenging for her son to learn how to roll, crawl, walk, jump and spin etc.
Robyn trains educators and teachers worldwide, both face to face and online and is excited to share with you simple strategies that you can implement straight away to improve children’s motor skill development and environments on a tight budget.
