I would absolutely use the wood floor in a playroom. Easy to clean up spills, etc and no carpet to trap dust & dirt. I had pine floors installed in our playroom a few years back and they take lots of abuse but are so easy to maintain. In the winter when I want to cosy it up a bit I put an inexpensive throw rug down. As for finishing it - you could probably get away with giving it a light sanding (screening) and put down several coats of finish for protection. I would not use Murphy's oil soap on newly finished floors - ask for advice from a reputable flooring store on proper products to use. Vinegar and water (sparingly) may be all you need.
