An intervention study of 58 preschool girls in the "Alegre Amanecer" day-care center located in José Martí health area, Santiago de Cuba province was carried out from march to july, 1995, for the purpose of determining the representation of breast feeding in child's games, applying educational techniques and comparing their effectiveness. Methods like observations, initial and final interviews story-telling, demonstrations and guided role-taking games were used.  The educational techniques were employed in 97 % of the cases and they were really effective since at the end of the interventions, the results favoured breast feedings and milk, the girls nursed their dolls and learned the importance of breast feeding. Therefore, it would be useful to continue this type of work with preschool girls who do not attend day-care centers, and to give advisory to educational staff working in these centers on the implementation of these techniques in child's games program
