Abstrak:

Play is an essential and distinctive aspect of childhood that profoundly influences children's development across multiple domains. This scientific article explores the essence and uniqueness of play in children's activities, drawing upon a comprehensive review of existing literature. Play is characterized by its voluntary and intrinsically motivated nature, providing children with a self-directed and imaginative space for exploration, learning, and social interaction. The cognitive benefits of play include enhanced problem-solving skills, creativity, and a positive attitude towards learning. Emotionally, play supports emotional regulation, empathy development, and the expression of complex emotions. Socially, play facilitates the development of social skills, cooperation, and cultural understanding.
