Abstract

The background that prompted this research was the conditions found in the Al-Muttaqin family planning institution, Buko village, Wedung sub-district, Demak district, most of the children experienced problems in problem-solving skills. This was shown during the learning activities that researchers observed, children were still confused about various shapes, could not find solutions to simple problems such as children not knowing colors, and still looked very passive. Apart from that, based on researchers' observations, the learning activities carried out at this institution are still monotonous and limited. Educators still often use verbal methods and the minimal application of play media used in learning activities makes the learning process less attractive to students.
