ABSTRACT
Enriching a child’s development is composed with both biological and environmental factors. Play is a critical component as such an environmental factor in the early childhood period because through this experience children learn and acquire basic social and cognitive skills (Vygotsky, 1978). Research has demonstrated that play, often defined as a pleasurable activity freely chosen, and motivated by children, particularly serves to help young children enhance their abilities to solve problems and develop cognition and language competencies (Bergen & Fromberg, 2009; Pellegrini, 1980; Smith & Dutton, 1979).
