This study aimed to examine the utilization of loose parts media in learning activities and its impact on the creativity of children aged 4–5 years at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 1 Candi. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving children, classroom teachers, and the principal. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings showed that loose parts media were integrated into center-based learning, particularly in the creativity center, using natural and recycled materials. Their use encouraged children to participate actively, explore freely, and create original works. Creativity was reflected in children's ability to generate ideas, use materials flexibly, produce original creations, and elaborate their work. Of the 11 children observed, 8 were categorized as very well developed and 3 as developed as epected, indicating that loose parts media positively supported children's creativity.
