This study aims to describe play activities used by teachers to develop creativity in children aged 3–4 years, their implementation, the development of creativity, and challenges at Al-Amin Early Childhood Education Center, Sukaoneng Village, Tambak District, Gresik Regency. This study used a descriptive approach. The informants were one classroom teacher and the principal, while six children aged 3–4 years were observed. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that play activities included role-playing, blocks, puzzles, drawing, coloring, singing, sensorimotor activities, and group games, with role-playing being dominant. Creativity developed through expressing ideas, imagination, problem-solving, and confidence. Challenges included limited props, different child characteristics, and limited media variety. Teachers addressed these through role rotation, alternative media, assistance, and school support.
