Abstract

This research aims to increase ecoprint creativity among students in group B of TK GMIM Imanuel Tincep by using the pounding technique. The research method used is classroom action research, and it is conducted through four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were at TK GMIM Imanuel Tincep with 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls. Data collection techniques used are observation and documentation. In Cycle I, the maximum indicator was achieved by 6 children, or 50%, who had developed well, while the other 6 had not improved their ecoprint creativity or still showed messy results. In Cycle II, results improved—12 or 100% of the children successfully met the indicators and showed good development in enhancing their creativity through ecoprint activities using the pounding technique. It can be concluded that ecoprint activities can increase the creativity of 5–6-year-old children in Group B of TK GMIM Imanuel Tincep in the 2024/2025 academic year.
