Hi Cannaly my name is Fiona and I am a childcare worker. I have seen what you have described in Piaget's sensorimotor stage occuring in my baby room. In this room I have 6 month to 1 year old children and they all use their senses to help them to gain knowledge. Therefore when programming I have lots of activities that are hands on and child initiated. For example, providing a variety of activities in the sand pit, where children can select the activity that interests them and interact directly with the materials themselves. I have provided a photo (image 2) of a child in my class displaying some of the characteristics Piaget describes that you have mentioned above.
