Summary/Abstract: Countries around the world are continuously considering how to prepare children to become productive adults, while rethinking the skills and abilities needed in the workplace. One of the key skills that stands out in particular is creativity. Early childhood is a golden period in which it is extremely important to encourage creativity, and one of the ways is through play. It is known that play is the most important form of a child's learning in the preschool period, so it should be used to create creative processes that are most visible during different types of play. In times of rapid and significant change, it is important to leave space for children to play, because it has a positive effect not only on the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of children, but also on the development of creative potential. Otherwise, we negatively affect and lead to a decline in children's creativity. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the value of play for a child's development, as well as to raise awareness of the space for reflection on the possibilities of meeting play and creativity.
