The first being the Sensorimotor stage which is from birth to 2 years old. This stage the infant explores the world with their eyes‚ ears‚ hands and mouth. The next stage is the Preoperational stage which is preschool children between 2 to 7 years olds. At this stage there is development of language and make-believe play
