<![CDATA[The limited integration of digital learning media in early childhood education may constrain young learners’ opportunities to develop digital literacy, technical skills, and creativity through meaningful technology-based activities. This study aimed to develop and evaluate Microsoft Paint–based worksheets designed to enhance young children’s digital literacy, creativity, and technical skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, comprising Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The participants were children aged 5–6 years, supported by early childhood teachers and education experts as validators. Data were collected through systematic observations, digital skills performance tests, and validation questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis of expert validation and pretest–posttest performance scores. The findings indicated that the developed worksheets achieved a high level of feasibility, with an expert validation score of 90%. Following implementation, children’s technical skills in operating Microsoft Paint features increased by 45%, with the improvement reaching statistical significance (p < 0.05). The activities also provided opportunities for children to explore creativity through digital drawing, object creation, and illustrated storytelling. These findings suggest that Microsoft Paint–based worksheets can serve as an accessible and structured medium for integrating technology into early childhood learning. The study implies that developmentally appropriate digital worksheets can support the integration of digital literacy, creativity, and technical skills in early childhood education.]]>
