Piaget's second stage of cognitive development is the pre-operational stage, which lasts from the age of two to about seven years and is characterized by children thinking symbolically but not employing cognitive operations. Animism is the concept that usually children believed that inanimate objects are capable of having human-like qualities or they are capable of actions. This is evident in children of the pre-operational stage of Piaget’s cognitive development. For example, a girl may be playing with her toys and teddy bear and treating them as though they have human-like characteristics.
