Preschool children were systematically exposed to enterable boxes made of transparent, translucent and opaque Plexiglas presented within the context of a playroom setting. Measurement of responses to these boxes indicated that children at play prefer encapsulating objects which offer visual cut-off and darkness more than those providing tactile enclosure alone. This investigation constitutes part of an ongoing program which is exploring the manner in which specific stimulus parameters of the physical environment modulate children's play behavior.
