Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya kreativitas anak usia 4-5 tahun di SPS Durian 46, Sumberjambe. Anak-anak cenderung pasif dan mengalami kesulitan dalam menghasilkan ide saat bermain. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh minimnya media yang mendukung eksplorasi bebas serta keterbatasan bahan bermain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kreativitas anak melalui penerapan media loose part berbasis bahan lokal. Penelitian menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) model Carr & Kemmis yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, dengan masing-masing siklus terdiri dari perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 12 anak kelompok A. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi terstruktur dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan pada kreativitas anak. Pada kondisi pra-siklus, persentase ketuntasan klasikal adalah 0%. Setelah tindakan pada siklus I, persentase ketuntasan meningkat menjadi 41,67%, dan pada siklus II mencapai 100%. Rata-rata skor kreativitas anak meningkat dari 5,42 pada pra-siklus menjadi 10,92 pada siklus I dan 14,00 pada siklus II. Temuan ini mengonfirmasi bahwa media loose part yang memanfaatkan bahan-bahan alam dan barang bekas di sekitar anak efektif dalam merangsang kelancaran dan keluwesan berpikir anak.
