This study aims to improve the creativity of children aged 5–6 years through weaving activities at TK Daarul Muta’allimin, Serang-Banten. The background of this study is the low level of imagination, curiosity, and self-confidence of children. The research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model by Kemmis & McTaggart, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 10 children from group B. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the weaving activity effectively enhanced children’s creativity, improving their developmental category from 'Starting to Develop' to 'Very Well Developed'. In conclusion, weaving is an effective strategy to stimulate creativity in early childhood.
