Could somebody give me a good explanation of solitary play?

Question

I am researching for a child development project and i can't find a good definition.. please help!

Answer 1

I agree that if this is coursework...the levels of play should be defined in your course book.  :-)  Just check your index.  Here's one definition for you.

Solitary Play

This type of play is one of the earliest stages of play.

"Play in which children play without regard for what other children around them are doing. A child may be constructing a tower with blocks and be completely oblivious to what other children in the room are doing."
