Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of cognitive stimulation in early childhood through innovative and contextual learning media. At Al Ikhsan Kindergarten in Bangun Purba Village, children's science and mathematics skills still require improvement due to the limited use of creative media that utilize the surrounding environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of nature-themed stamp games in improving children's science and mathematics skills. The research method used was quantitative with a pre-experimental design (One Group Pretest-Posttest Design). The study subjects included all students at Al Ikhsan Kindergarten. Data collection techniques were carried out through structured observation, documentation, and performance tests. Data analysis used a t-test to compare pre- and post-treatment results. The results showed that the use of nature-themed stamp games significantly improved children's abilities in science (recognizing natural phenomena), correspondence, classification, geometry, and numeracy. In conclusion, nature-themed stamp games are an effective educational tool for optimizing the cognitive potential of early childhood through a fun, play-while-learning approach.
