Abstract— This study aims to investigate the effect of play with plasticine on increasing creativity in early childhood at Dharma Wanita Tulung II Kindergarten, Ponorogo. Using an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach, this study involved 30 children divided into two groups: an experimental group given play with plasticine and a control group following conventional learning. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with teachers, and questionnaires distributed to teachers and parents. The results showed a significant increase in children's creativity, especially in aspects of imaginative thinking, originality, and problem-solving after engaging in play with plasticine. In addition, a positive influence was also found on children's fine motor development, as reflected in improved skills in manipulating small objects. Responses from teachers and parents indicated that play with plasticine can increase children's engagement, enrich creativity, and support their social and collaborative skills. Based on these findings, it is recommended that play-based activities be more widely integrated into the early childhood education curriculum to support the development of creativity, fine motor skills, and children's social skills.
