Abstract

General background: Early childhood learning requires creative strategies to introduce fundamental religious knowledge, including the recognition of Hijaiyah letters as the foundation for reading the Qur’an. Specific background: Conventional methods often emphasize rote memorization, which may reduce children’s engagement and motivation. Knowledge gap: There is limited exploration of interactive and game-based media that integrate fun learning with Islamic education to foster both cognitive and affective development. Aims: This study examines the use of a Busy Book as an interactive learning medium to support children’s ability in recognizing and understanding Hijaiyah letters through playful activities. Results: The Busy Book, designed with 25 colorful pages, provides activities such as coloring, matching, and puzzles, which successfully stimulate children’s interest and improve their ability to identify Hijaiyah letters. Novelty: Unlike traditional learning tools, the Busy Book integrates educational content with interactive play, making the process enjoyable while strengthening retention. Implications: This medium can be an alternative for teachers and parents to introduce Hijaiyah letters in early childhood education, bridging creativity, play, and Islamic values in a single tool. Highlights: Busy Book integrates play and Islamic education. Improves recognition of Hijaiyah letters through creative tasks. Supports engaging and meaningful early childhood learning.

Abstract

General background: Early mathematics learning plays a crucial role in shaping children’s cognitive development, yet conventional methods often fail to sustain young learners’ interest. Specific background: Children aged 4 to 7 years commonly struggle with maintaining focus when introduced to abstract mathematical concepts such as addition and subtraction. Knowledge gap: Existing teaching materials often lack interactive features that simultaneously support conceptual understanding and engagement in early mathematics learning. Aims: This study introduces the Fun Learning Mathematics Smart Book, designed to facilitate enjoyable and effective mathematics learning for early grade students. Results: The smart book, consisting of 30 colorful and interactive pages, integrates number recognition, counting concrete objects, coloring, matching, and solving story-based problems while embedding elements of play and learning. It was found to keep children motivated, reduce boredom, and stimulate both hemispheres of the brain during mathematics activities. Novelty: Unlike conventional textbooks, this smart book combines cognitive training with fine motor skill development through playful activities tailored to early learners. Implications: The findings suggest that this learning medium can serve as an innovative approach for educators and parents to support foundational mathematics learning in a way that is both engaging and developmentally appropriate.Highlights: Smart Book supports fun mathematics learning for young children. Activities include counting, coloring, matching, and story problems. Helps train both cognitive skills and fine motor development. Keywords: Smart Book, Mathematics, Addition, Subtraction, Early Childhood
