The research method used is a qualitative method, in which an analysis of the latest literature reviews
the development of children’s play activites during a pandemic situation. It is then associated with

Figure 1. Diagram of respondents’ background.
Based on the data obtained, the average young working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic
from March–July (4 months) did their work from home while also caring for their children. As
many as 68% of them have children in the age range of 0–3 years old, where these children are
categorized as toddlers, and in that age range their role is dominated as sensorial explorer. Naturally,

mothers choose the living room as the best area to do their office work, supervise their children,
as well as play with their children (Figure 2).

room is easily accessed from other rooms so it is easier to supervise the children. The other 46%
mentioned the reason was because the living room is the widest area, and 4% of the rest said that
this area is the most popular with children.
