Increasing Children's Creativity Through Color Mixing with an Experimental Method Using Color Paste Media in Group B RA Al Falah Sawangan

Abstract

This study aims to increase children's creativity through color mixing with an experimental method using color paste media in Group B RA Al Falah Sawangan. Creativity is an important aspect of early childhood development, and one effective way to stimulate it is through exploratory activities that involve the senses as well as hands-on experience. The experimental method was chosen because it provides an opportunity for children to explore, try, and find various color combinations independently. This study uses a qualitative approach with a classroom action method carried out in two cycles. The subject of the study is a child of Group B RA Al Falah Sawangan. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the use of color paste media in the experimental method is able to significantly increase children's creativity. Children are more enthusiastic about mixing colors, showing courage in trying new combinations, and being able to express their creative ideas through the results of color exploration. In addition, this activity also improves children's fine motor skills and critical thinking skills. Thus, the experimental method using color paste media has been proven to be effective in stimulating children's creativity in Group B RA Al Falah Sawangan. It is hoped that this method can be applied more widely in learning activities in early childhood education to support children's cognitive development and creativity
