This work's guiding question was: To what extent do media characters influence the play of three-year-old children? This work's general objective was to understand how media characters are present in the games of three-year-olds. Therefore, qualitative research was carried out, with a literature review related to the investigated theme and empirical research with Early Childhood Education institutions' visits. The data were collected by observing children's games into handling created based on media characters. Three Educational Products were made from the data collected, in a literary book format, entitled, "I have grown a little, and I still want to grow more," video book, "I have grown a little and still want to grow more" in Libras and blog, "I have grown a little and still want to grow more," looking to contribute to pre-school children and professionals working in early childhood education. The children investigated in the research were those in the three-year-old group enrolled in the research field. The study was based on the assumptions of Historical-Cultural Theory, based on the studies of Vigotski (2008), Elkonin (2009), Prestes (2010), Freitas (2012), Pino (2005), Libâneo (2005), as well as in theoretical approaches that analyze the subject's relationships with information and communication technologies, such as Belloni (2010), Nascimento (2014), Moraes (2016) and Peixoto (2008, 2012). Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative approach, based on the theoretical framework's epistemological basis and the children's social, cultural, and historical context. The data showed that play is influenced by media characters accessible to children and can contribute to child psychic development since media content represents, in some way, the organization of social life, and this is the basis of role representations created by kids.
