Abstract

The PAUD Teacher Training in Making Simple Educational Game Tools (APE) is a dedicated activity aimed at improving the ability of PAUD teachers to create simple and inexpensive APEs. The main goal is to enhance early childhood cognitive and motor skills through enjoyable play. The event was organized by a dedicated team consisting of lecturers and students of Nusantara Al Washliyah Muslim University. The methods used include direct training for PAUD teachers, creating simple APEs using recycled materials, and raising awareness about educational play tools for early childhood. This training helps PAUD teachers develop environmentally friendly and effective APE-making skills to enhance the cognitive and motor development of young children. The outcome of this activity is the improvement of the pedagogical competence of PAUD teachers in understanding the learning process. Additionally, the APE products created can be shared through YouTube and other social media platforms to enhance access to learning information for the general public. This activity is also intended as a form of community service that aligns with IKU 3 for lecturers and IKU 2 for students.
