Summary/Abstract: Today, young children are growing up in a new cultural context in which the evolution of technology has created new opportunities of play. As adults, however, we are faced with the challenge of introducing the child to the world of ICT tools, to give them the opportunity to learn by playing and play by learning. Likewise, we should make it possible for them to acquire skills that are essential for modern people, such as creativity, mobility, and an analytical and synthetic view of the surrounding world. On the basis of the subject literature and conducted research, the article aims to answer questions concerning the essence of digital play and its significance in the learning process of the child at preschool age. It also discusses the requirements that an adult (parent, teacher) must meet in order for digital play to find its place in the educational space and become an important element of preparing the child for the world in which reality merges with the virtual world.
