The low level of Balinese speaking skills among early childhood children is caused by the lack of engaging and innovative learning media available in early childhood education (ECE) institutions. This study aims to develop an interactive multimedia tool designed to enhance the Balinese speaking abilities of young children, hereafter referred to as Malali (Malajah Bahasa Bali) Interactive Multimedia. The research method used is research and development (R&D) following the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects of this study included 12 experts (comprising 3 content experts, 3 media experts, 3 instructional design experts, and 3 Balinese language experts), 1 teacher, and 31 children from group B. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and a Balinese speaking ability assessment instrument, all of which had undergone validity and reliability testing. The results showed that the Malali interactive multimedia tool demonstrated a high level of validity and was deemed feasible for use in the learning process. Thus, the Malali Interactive Multimedia is effective in developing Balinese speaking skills in early childhood. This media can serve as an alternative, engaging, and innovative tool for enhancing young children's Balinese language speaking abilities in ECE settings.
