The study aimed to identify, through the scientific literature, the contributions of playful practices to the recovery of the health of hospitalized children. This is an integrative literature review, conducted in the LILACS and BDENF databases and in the SciELO journal repository, in September 2023, by two researchers. The final sample consisted of 17 articles. The analysis of the studies showed the importance of play approaches and therapeutic toys in the care of hospitalized children, highlighting their role in promoting cognitive development, emotional well-being and reducing anxiety. Therapeutic toys, in particular, proved valuable in preparing for hospital procedures, making the experience more understandable and welcoming. Playful practices emerge as impactful elements in the recovery, well-being and understanding of hospitalized children, highlighting the importance of collaboration with families and strengthening bonds between nursing staff and children.
