Abstract
Twenty-four toddlers were observed in unstructured free play with their parents at 13 and 20 months. Child play actions and parental verbal and gestural play suggestions were coded for three play content scenarios. Results revealed significant interactions between play content and age for all three measures. Additionally, parents and toddlers were more attuned in terms of play content at 20 months than at 13 months. Last, verbal-only suggestions increased from 13 to 20 months. These results highlight the importance of considering play content in future studies of children's symbolic play.
