Summary of Week 3
- Children use patterns of behaviour called schemas when they are playing to help them develop their thinking and understanding.
- Babies need to spend time playing on the floor to allow them to explore movement and build their strength.
- Treasure Baskets and loose parts play give babies and toddlers opportunities to use their senses to explore the world and develop their learning.
