Abstract

The purpose of this work is to show contributions and possibilities of the toys as a tool for socialization of children in Elementary school in the municipality of Parintins, Amazonas state, Brazil. This work is based on authors such as: Froebel (2001), Kishimoto (2010), Brougére (2010), Corsaro (2005), among others. It is a qualitative work, in which we used the ethnographical research method for establishing an approximation of the researcher and the research subjects, thereby proportioning a better understanding of their universe. The subjects were five children of both sexes aged between 4 and 5 years old and their respective teacher. When researching children, there is a need to observe the ethical questions involved and, for this reason, we sought the parents and guardians authorization for the use of the results and images, and also opted to use fictional names. Based on the observations in loco, we perceived that the toy represents a possibility for the socialization of the children because, when playing, the children establish relationships, share experiences, interact and cooperate each other. We concluded that toys contribute to education of children in a unique way. Keywords: Toys, Socialization, Children
