This study, conducted on children in Group B at PAUD Al-Muhabbah in Bandung City, was motivated by the low level of children's creativity, which was attributed to monotonous learning activities that relied heavily on thematic books. To address this issue, creativity development must be approached differently. One of the strategies implemented at PAUD Al-Muhabbah involved the use of loose parts play to stimulate children's creativity. The objective of this study was to examine improvements in the creative abilities of Group B children through the application of loose parts play. A descriptive method with a qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study involved 10 children as research subjects. Data analysis followed a qualitative procedure, including data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the use of loose parts of play effectively enhanced children's creativity. In the indicator of curiosity, children who were initially passive became more active in asking questions about topics they were interested in. For the indicator of form creation, children who initially appeared confused eventually became capable of producing various forms. Regarding independent creation, children who previously required assistance were later able to create their works without help from the teacher. These improvements were attributed to the children's enthusiasm and engagement during loose parts play activities.
