This study aims to examine the effectiveness of character education through creative activities for elementary school students in Lembeyan District. Character education is an integral part of the educational process, aiming to shape students' character with sound moral and social values. One approach to character building is through creative activities that involve students in practical activities, such as arts and crafts, and other collaborative activities. Creative activities are expected to develop social skills, environmental sensitivity, and foster positive attitudes and responsibility in students. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, where data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of activity documentation. The results indicate that creative activities involving students in joint projects have a positive impact on student character development, such as enhancing cooperation, discipline, and a sense of responsibility. This study recommends that schools in Lembeyan District further integrate creative activities into the curriculum as a method to strengthen character education in elementary schools.
