Zabawa dzieci jako przejaw twórczego uczestnictwa
CHILDREN’S PLAY AS AN EXPRESSION OF CREATIVE PARTICIPATION

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to investigate the intricate relationship between play, creativity, and children’s participation. Key questions guiding this exploration include: What do we mean when we discuss children’s play? What meanings have been associated with playful activities? How are creativity and play interconnected? By examining the works of Johan Huizinga, Donald Winnicott, John Dewey, Jane Addams, and Martha Nussbaum, the study posits that children’s play is a fundamental expression of social and cultural engagement during childhood. Play not only facilitates children’s understanding and familiarity with the cultural dimensions of society but also encourages their active participation in the recreational aspects of life and self-exploration. Consequently, play emerges as an experience of creation, differentiation, and mutual recognition, fostering self-awareness and social interaction through the expression of daily attitudes and behaviours.
