It aims to understand how the toy was explored by children in early child hood education, in moments of free play in the classroom and what functions were assigned to this object. From a qualitative approach, participant observation was carried out with 13 field diaries. The qualitative analysis was carried out, with dis cussion in the light of theoretical contribution. Among the results is that the toy, both industrialized and the object transformed into a toy, became considerably present in the games, allowing the enrichment of the experiences, by the children. We emphasize the necessary qualification of teacher mediation regarding the manifestations of gen der stereotypes in games. The provision of other play environments and pedagogical attention in the provision of play objects in order to contribute to the processes of creation, exploration and enrichment of children’s experiences.
