“As they move around, exploring their ideas babies and toddlers can be observed to be frequently exploring a particular pattern of thought and movement such as in and out, transporting or rotation, exhibiting an underlying logic in their play. Play that appears idiosyncratic or even mischievous can also give clues to children’s schematic preoccupations” Julia Manning-Morton and Maggie Thorpe
