Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of leaf-based batik stamping activities as a strategy to stimulate the creativity of children aged 4-5 years (Group A). The study addresses the dominance of conventional, teacher-centered art learning that hinders the development of children's originality and flexible thinking. The research employed a quantitative approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest quasi-experimental design involving 14 subjects. Creativity was measured using Torrance’s four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Data analysis using a paired t-test revealed a significant increase in children's creativity, with the mean score rising from 5.00 in the pre-test to 15.71 in the post-test (t = -48.568 p < 0.001). The results empirically justify that integrating surrounding natural materials as a relief print medium is an effective and sustainable strategy for enhancing creative confidence. The study concludes that modifying traditional batik into leaf-stamping activities creates meaningful learning experiences that optimize developmental outcomes in early childhood.
