Enveloping
Children experiencing an enveloping schema will be drawn to completely cover objects or their bodies with different materials.
What it might look like:
- hiding, camouflaging, or concealing themselves or their bodies
- building forts with blankets and furniture
- painting or coloring a piece of paper entirely one color
- using clay, play dough, or fabric to cover toys
- covering hands with glue or paint
