Children's plays play a very important role in the formation of children's personality and their proper education. One of the plays that has received special attention from Islamic teachings and modern scientific research is children's soil play. Soil is considered in the Holy Quran as the primary material of human creation. In many narrations, children's playing with soil and its importance in their lives have been mentioned; as many scientists and psychologists have emphasized this kind of playing. This research has mentioned the effects and benefits of playing with soil for children from the perspective of the two mentioned sources, which the most important ones are: 1- low costs while creating a lot of fun; 2- Increasing children's creativity and flourishing their talent; 3- Development of children's perceptual-movement abilities; 4- creating a sense of attention to cultural values in children; 5- Treating aggression and violence and emptying children's harmful emotions; 6- strengthening the sense of independence and increasing children's self-confidence; 7- Preventing distraction and strengthening the power of concentration in children. Of course, in playing with soil, one should pay attention to the type of soil used and avoid exposing the child to inappropriate and harmful soil.
