Abstract

The limited availability of Educational Play Equipment (APE) in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions hinders the optimization of child development. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using waste-based and natural materials-based APE on the development of fine motor skills in early childhood in Kober AZ-ZAHRA, Cihideung Hamlet, Utama Village, Cijeungjing District, Ciamis Regency. The method used was descriptive quantitative with 10 children aged 4–5 years, teachers, and parents as subjects, which was carried out for five days. The intervention involved the creation and use of APE made by teachers and parents, including cardboard puzzles, bottle cap mazes, natural finger painting, clay playdough, and dried leaf collages. The results of the activity showed an average increase in children's fine motor skills by 40%, especially in eye-hand coordination, finger muscle strength, and creativity. Teachers and parents displayed high enthusiasm in the process of creating and implementing APE. In addition to being proven effective, this approach is economical and environmentally friendly and strengthens collaboration between schools and families in creating a creative and sustainable learning environment. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of teacher innovation and creativity in managing learning according to developmental targets, so that it can increase motivation and aspects of children's overall development..

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan barang bekas dan bahan alam sebagai Alat Permainan Edukatif (APE) di POS PAUD Miftahul Hidayah untuk meningkatkan kreativitas dan perkembangan holistik anak usia dini; menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, serta analisis melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kardus, botol plastik, kain perca, daun, batu, dan biji-bijian efektif menstimulasi motorik halus dan kasar, kognitif, bahasa, sosial-emosional, dan kreativitas, dengan guru berperan sebagai fasilitator yang membimbing eksplorasi dan menciptakan lingkungan belajar aman. Temuan ini memperkuat landasan konstruktivis Piaget dan Vygotsky dan merekomendasikan pengembangan APE berbasis barang bekas dan bahan alam sebagai solusi pembelajaran yang inovatif, ekonomis, dan ramah lingkungan
