Abstract

Early age is often referred to as the golden age (golden period), where children begin to experience rapid growth and development. Children begin to experience growth in height, weight gain, development of thought patterns, and development of creativity. Teachers must be able to use learning methods that attract children's attention, and be able to make children active and participate in learning. One of the appropriate learning methods for the development of child ren's creativity is the method of learning to play with colored flour plasticine media. This study aims to improve the development of creativity in early childhood by using the method of learning to play with colored flour plasticine media. This research is an experimental research using two cycles in the study. This research was conducted in Jati Village Kindergarten with 12 children as respondents. After observing, it can be seen that learning in Jati Village Kindergarten is still considered monotonous so that children's creativity is still not optimally developed. From these problems, the researchers used the method of learning to play with colored flour plasticine media to improve the development of children's creativity. From the pre-cycle, cycle 1 and cycle 2, it can be seen that the development of children's creativity increases with the colored flour plasticine playing method. In the pre- cycle, the creativity level of the Jati Village Kindergarten children was still in the medium and low categories. After cycles 1 and 2, the level of children's creativity development has increased in the medium to high category. Thus, it can be said that the colored plasticine playing method can improve the development of children's creativity.
