Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage

A. sensorimotor stage, When a baby is born, he or she starts developing both physically and cognitively. Physical skills include crawling, grasping, and pulling, as well as general physical growth. However, as babies develop cognitive skills, they start thinking about their behaviors and reacting to different stimuli such as noises, movement, and emotions. This is what defines the sensorimotor stage.

B. Provide a variety of sensory play and exploration experiences for Ziggy. Eg: nesting cups, edible finger painting, rainbow spaghetti, jelly play, coloured water etc.

Scenario: Chen (4 years 10 months) is attempting a difficult puzzle with the assistance of an Educator. She is able to put some pieces in by herself but needs to be guided by the Educator in order to complete the puzzle.
