<![CDATA[Motor and cognitive development are two important aspects of early childhood education that require proper stimulation, especially during the golden age. Initial observations in Group A2 at TK Mawar Indah 02 Batu showed that learning was still centered around worksheets and printed books, with 8 out of 18 children not developing as expected. This study aims to improve children's gross motor and cognitive development through the application of the learning media “EduBoard: Animal and Color Exploration.” This research uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method following the Arikunto model, carried out in two cycles with eight children in group A (4 boys and 4 girls) as subjects. Data was collected through observation, tests, field notes, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively in both qualitative and quantitative ways. The research results showed an increase in children's developmental achievements from 30% at the pre-action stage to 37.5% in cycle 1, and then rising to 87.5% in cycle 2, surpassing the success indicator of 75%. These findings show that the EduBoard media is effective in stimulating both gross motor and cognitive development while also fostering enthusiasm and active participation, making it a reference for early childhood teachers and opening up opportunities for further research with more diverse media subjects or themes, as well as children's enjoyment during the learning process.]]>
