The results of this study are based on the results of validation on the aspects of effectiveness, efficiency, and usefulness through trials of subject matter experts, media experts, group trials of 15 children as subjects, and field trials of 32 children aged 5-6 years. The test resulted in an assessment achievement of 95% in the effectiveness aspect, 94.44% in the efficiency aspect, and 95% in the attractiveness aspect.
