The article analyses the self-activity of preschool children during social isolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the first part of the article, a literature review was conducted, which made it possible to define self-activity and its significance for the development of the individual. The following part reflects on the potential of self-activity, considered in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The review of literature provided the basis for the development of methodological foundations of the author’s own empirical research. The empirical research was conducted according to a quantitative strategy, by means of a diagnostic survey, with the use of a survey technique and a questionnaire. The article contains the characteristics of the study group. Afterwards, the collected and analysed research material provided the basis for the final conclusions. It was found that, according to parents’ declarations, children often or very often undertook self-activity during social isolation. The predominant types of activity undertaken by the children were identified. It was also determined what nature of creative/reproductive activities dominated the children’s own activity time.
