The main objective of this study was to investigate and prove that collage art activities can increase independence and enthusiasm for learning in early childhood at PAUD Wafa Humaira Samarinda. This study used a classroom action research (PTK) method with two cycles. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation.

It can be concluded that collage art activities can increase independence and enthusiasm for learning in early childhood at PAUD Wafa Humaira Samarinda. Through collage activities, children can develop cognitive, social-emotional, and motor skills, and engage in fun and meaningful learning.
