Exploration and research begin from the earliest age of the child and are considered one of the most important actions of the child's overall physical and cognitive development. Children initially discover themselves, then the environment that surrounds them, and then base themselves on further elements of nature. Children investigate independently or in collaboration, they come to conclusions with incentives and are motivated by internal factors such as curiosity. With growing up and saturation of information, exploration decreases. It largely depends on differences in age and gender, as well as on the environment in which the child resides. The child explores daily with rich stimuli and unlimited materials, motivated by freedom and curiosity. The child is intrinsically and extrinsically motivated and explores spontaneously or provoked. He is intrinsically motivated by freedom, curiosity and the need for discovery, while he is extrinsically motivated by the educator, centers that are a stimulus, colors, nature and the environment itself. Creativity is one of the most important incentives because it affects the overall development of the child. Exploration and research will result in more positive results if the educator and parents approach it correctly. With their approach, they must give a sense of security, freedom and congruence and participate as passive observers who provide support through communication, answers and stimulating questions. The basis of exploration and research actions is considered to be the game, which as an undisturbed and free activity shows the research process itself in a simple and constant duration.
