N2  - This article synthesizes the literature on social comparison activity and on the spontaneous, self-initiated play of young children. Specifically, a brief overview of the research on social comparison in young children is offered. Next, a depiction is provided of how young children exhibit social comparisons during two types of play activity-namely, physical object and social fantasy play. Finally, research and pedagogical implications emanating from the discussion are examined.<p />
