Abstrak

This study aims to determine the implementation of exploratory play activities in developing the creativity of children aged 5-6 years in early childhood education institutions. Exploratory play is a form of play that gives children the freedom to try, investigate, and discover new things through direct experience. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation methods as data collection techniques. The results of the study show that through exploratory play activities, children can show increased creativity in the form of imaginative thinking skills, creating new objects from used materials, and the ability to solve problems independently. Teachers play an important role as facilitators who provide a stimulating and safe learning environment for children to explore. In conclusion, exploratory play is effective in developing the creativity of early childhood when carried out in a planned, directed manner, and in accordance with the interests and needs of children.
