<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low level of environmental awareness among young children at TK Srikandi Kepahiang, reflected in littering habits, poor classroom cleanliness, and limited reuse of waste materials. The study aimed to determine the effect of using an art-craft-based recycle book medium on enhancing children's environmental awareness. A quantitative pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of 15 children in Group B, selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected through observation, pretest-posttest assessment, and documentation using an observation sheet whose validity (20 of 30 valid items) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.957) had been tested. Results showed the mean score increased from 50.27 (pretest) to 89.07 (posttest), a 77.19% increase. The Paired Sample t-Test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of Ho and acceptance of Ha. Thus, the art-craft-based recycle book is effective as a learning medium for enhancing environmental awareness among early childhood learners at TK Srikandi Kepahiang]]>
