The answer is the preoperational stage.

Explanation:

The preoperational stage is the second stage in Piaget's model of cognitive development. It starts around age two.

Children in this stage have not developed logical or abstract thinking yet. However, it's common for children to think symbollicaly. This means they assign a different function or meaning to common objects (for example, when a child pretends that a remote control is a microphone).
