Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the sequential mediation effects of creative home environment and preschoolers’ playfulness on the relationship between mothers' play beliefs and preschoolers’ happiness. Methods: The subjects of this study were 233 preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 5 and their mothers. Mothers were asked to complete a questionnaire that assessed their beliefs about play, the creative home environment they provided, as well as their child’s playfulness and happiness. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS Process Macro program to investigate the sequential mediating effects. Results: The study found that the mothers' play support beliefs were directly associated with their preschoolers’ happiness. Additionally, the creative home environment was found to mediate the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and their preschooler’s happiness. The children's playfulness was also identified as a mediator in the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and their preschooler’s happiness. Furthermore, the findings of this study indicated that the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and preschoolers’ happiness was sequentially mediated by the creative home environment and preschoolers’ playfulness. Conclusion/Implications: Findings of this study provide insights into the potential development of a parent education program aimed at modifying mothers' play beliefs and the home environment.
