Therefore, childhood is a period of excessive cognitive development. Jean Piaget formulated a theory, highlighting four stages of cognitive development from birth to adulthood (Pound & Hughes, 2012). Childhood falls into two of these stages, sensorimotor intelligence and preoperational thinking. Sensorimotor intelligence is the first stage of Piaget's theory and ranges from birth to 24 months (Nagy, 2015, p.369). Piaget describes that children in the sensorimotor intelligence stage use their senses and motor skills to understand the world around them (Gormly, 1997, p.168). Young children begin to understand that an object still exists even when it is out of sight (Berger, 2011, p. 45). Towards the end, the child develops a thought process before action, moving from random acts to choices with a thought process behind them (Nagy, 2015, p.369). The transition to the preoperative phase presents an increase in representative activity. This stage lasts from two to seven years (Nagy, 2015, p.369). During this stage children learn to think with the use of symbols and to represent the world with words, pictures and drawings (Santrock, 2014, p.229). A child's cognitive world in the pre-operational stage is controlled by egocentrism which forces him to see the world only from his own perspective (Berger, 2011, p.45). Magic
