Benefits of Creative Play on the Socialization Skills of Preschool Children

In researching this topic I would examine a group of preschool children engaging in creative play for two hours a day for a total of ten days. This direct observation would be followed by a ten day observation of the same group of preschool children during social interaction among peers for two hours a day for a consecutive ten days. At the conclusion of the study the benefits of creative play on the socialization skills of preschool children would be examined.
