The sample of this study was 40 parents chosen by using the total sampling method. The research instruments were questionnaires. The questionnaires consist of 20 statements with three different parts; General Perceptions of parents on Children’s Play, Parents’ Perceptions of children’s play at home, and Parents’ Perceptions of children’s play in Preschool.
