Solitary play, as described by Mildred Parten, occurs when children play alone and are focused on their own activity without regard to what other children around them are doing. In the scenario described, Jennifer and Rebecca are each engaged in their own play activities (a toy piano and a fire truck, respectively) without interacting with each other, which is characteristic of solitary play.
