The article includes Piaget's theory of children's play, Sinclair's developmental sequence of play, the developmental sequence of symbolic play proposed by Lezine, and Rosenblatt's developmental taxonomy of play (Casby 2003). The article begins with Piaget's observation of play in children and is followed by the development of research on play carried out by individuals following Piaget's study.

To the extent that it evolves from its initial stage of sensorimotor activity to its second stage of symbolic or imaginary play” (Casby 2003).
