Integrasi berpikir komputasional pada pendidikan anak usia dini menuntut kemampuan guru menerjemahkan dekomposisi, pengenalan pola, abstraksi, dan algoritma ke dalam perencanaan pembelajaran berbasis bermain. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi kebutuhan guru, mengembangkan buku panduan pembelajaran berpikir komputasional, serta menilai kelayakan dan kepraktisannya. Penelitian menggunakan Research and Development dengan model 4D yang dibatasi pada tahap Define, Design, dan Develop. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, angket, dokumentasi, dan catatan lapangan. Validasi produk melibatkan ahli materi, media, dan bahasa, sedangkan analisis kebutuhan dan uji terbatas melibatkan 12 guru PAUD. Studi kebutuhan menunjukkan guru telah menggunakan aktivitas logika dan pemecahan masalah, tetapi belum mengintegrasikan empat komponen berpikir komputasional secara sistematis dalam tujuan, kegiatan, media, dan asesmen. Hasil validasi memperoleh skor 93,33% untuk materi, 86,00% untuk media, dan 82,50% untuk bahasa, dengan rerata 87,28% (sangat layak). Uji kepraktisan mencapai 94,05% (sangat praktis). Buku panduan ini menyediakan struktur perencanaan, contoh aktivitas plugged dan unplugged, asesmen, serta refleksi guru. Temuan mendukung kelayakan produk untuk penggunaan terbatas, tetapi belum menunjukkan efektivitas terhadap kemampuan anak.
