Enclosure
Enclosure
Children experiencing an enclosure schema will be focused on joining lines or building structures with different materials to form a defined space for objects to "live" inside. These enclosures can be round, square or rectangular.
What it might look like:
- building fences or walls around objects
- drawing an enclosure around a drawing or objects
- arranging food around the edge of a plate
- riding a bike around an enclosed space they have constructed
