Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve the creativity of early childhood 4-5 years old at Dharma Wanita Persatuan Kindergarten Malangsuko through traditional batik jumputan (tie-dye) art activities with a 4P creativity approach (Person, Process, Press, Product). The research was conducted in three stages: pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II, using the Kemmis and Taggart model which includes planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of 13 children, consisting of 6 girls and 7 boys. The results showed a significant increase in all creativity indicators after the implementation of jumputan activities using textile fabrics and dyes. In the final cycle, 92.30% of children showed initiative in creating patterns and combining colors (Person), 84.60% were able to overcome technical challenges during the process (Process), 92.30% felt comfortable and confident in expressing their artwork (Press), and 84.60% were able to express the ideas behind the batik works they made (Product). These results indicate that tie-dye batik provides a stimulating, enjoyable, and culturally relevant medium for developing creativity, imagination, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills in early childhood. Recommendations for further research include increasing dye concentration, using faster-drying materials, and simplifying tools to better suit children's fine motor skills.
