Abstrak

Painting is an important form of stimulation in early childhood education because it supports the development of fine motor skills, creativity, and social-emotional skills. This article aims to outline effective strategies for teaching painting in early childhood education (PAUD) through the selection of methods, learning approaches, and examples of activities that teachers can implement. The methods discussed include learning by doing, the center approach, project-based learning, and exploratory methods that provide space for freedom of expression. The learning approaches focus on providing direct experience, the use of a variety of media, and non-directive guidance to optimally develop children's creativity. This article also presents several examples of activities, such as finger painting, painting from surrounding objects, exploring color with natural materials, and collaborative painting activities with friends. The results of the study indicate that effective painting teaching strategies depend not only on the techniques used but also on the teacher's ability to create a safe, stimulating environment and respect each child's creative process. By implementing these strategies, painting in PAUD can be a fun and meaningful learning tool for children's development.
