Kemampuan bercerita merupakan fondasi penting bagi perkembangan literasi awal anak usia dini. Media papan flanel telah lama digunakan di taman kanak-kanak, tetapi penelitian yang ada umumnya berfokus pada hasil akhir berupa peningkatan skor kemampuan berbicara, bukan pada proses anak mengonstruksi narasi melalui manipulasi objek fisik. Padahal, gambar pada papan flanel dapat ditempel, dilepas, dan digeser sehingga tindakan fisik tersebut berpotensi berfungsi sebagai tindakan kognitif dan semiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan dinamika proses kreatif anak usia 5–6 tahun dalam mengonstruksi alur narasi menggunakan media flanel, dengan fokus pada tindakan menempel, menggeser, dan bercerita. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus instrumental di TK Pertiwi II Kembang Melati Blora, melibatkan 10 anak, guru kelas, dan kepala sekolah. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, perekaman video dua sudut kamera, dan catatan lapangan selama enam sesi bercerita, lalu dianalisis dengan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga pola utama. Pertama, menempel berfungsi sebagai strategi “berpikir dengan tangan”: penempatan gambar memengaruhi arah narasi dan tuturan muncul sebagai respons terhadap konfigurasi visual. Kedua, menggeser merepresentasikan revisi naratif spontan, yakni anak mengubah urutan peristiwa atau relasi antartokoh tanpa merumuskannya secara verbal terlebih dahulu. Ketiga, bercerita terjalin secara dialektis dengan manipulasi fisik; jeda dan keheningan menjadi momen transisi antarmodus. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa media flanel merupakan ruang konstruksi naratif yang memungkinkan anak mengekspresikan agensi kreatifnya. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada teori literasi multimodal dan konstruksionisme serta menyarankan guru menyediakan beragam gambar flanel, memberi ruang bagi anak untuk memanipulasi sendiri, dan menahan diri dari mengoreksi “kesalahan” urutan cerita.
