Abstract

Activities of children in their spare time are essential in the formation and development for the future life of a teenager, then as adult. The research aims to investigate the ways preschool children spent leisure, either alone or with their parents. Research objectives focused on identifying and analyzing the favorite preschool leisure activities and investigate the involvement of parents in children's leisure. The opinions of 162 parents of preschool children (three to seven years old) were evaluated. The study highlights various types of activities, most of them negotiated with the children. Although children prefer outdoor activities, it seems that they actually spend more time on static, in-door activities.
