The experimental method was carried out on 26 kindergarten students aged 5-6 years. The research design used was pre-experimental. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. Cognitive skill data collection used observation guidelines consisting of cognitive dimensions (1) symbolic thinking recognizing concepts, (2) learning problem solving and cause and effect, (3) association and classification. The assessment of cognitive skills used a scale of 1 - 4.
