Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kelayakan dan keefektifan activity worksheets dalam meningkatkan berpikir kreatif anak usia 5 – 6 tahun. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan Research and Development dengan model pengembangan ADDIE pada 5 tahapan yaitu Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 15 anak usia 5-6 tahun di TK Dharma Wanita Persatuan Wilayut. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan angket dengan desain uji coba pre – experimental design tipe one group pre-test – post-test. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji kelayakan produk dan uji keefektifan dengan Uji N-Gain dan Uji Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Maka hasil uji coba dinyatakan sebagai berikut: (1) Uji kelayakan produk menunjukkan nilai persentase ahli materi memperoleh 89.2% sehingga buku dinyatakan sangat layak digunakan dan nilai persentase ahli media memperoleh 81.2% sehingga buku dinyatakan sangat layak digunakan. (2) Uji keefektifan yang dianalisis menggunakan aplikasi SPSS 22 menunjukkan pada kemampuan berpikir kreatif anak memiliki persentase tinggi pada indikator berpikir elaborasi (elaboration) sebesar 0,777  dan berpikir kelancaran (fluency) sebesar 0,724. Sedangkan pada persentase sedang pada indikator berpikir kelenturan (flexibility) sebesar 0,625 dan berpikir keaslian (originality) sebesar 0,478. Kemudian pada hasil Uji Wilcoxon memperoleh hasil signifikansi lebih kecil dari 0.05 maka H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima yang artinya ada perbedaan rata – rata antara pre – test dengan post – test. Sehingga dari uji kelayakan dan uji keefektifan tersebut disimpulkan bahwa activity worksheets topik mitigasi bencana banjir layak dan efektif digunakan untuk meningkatkan berpikir kreatif anak usia 5 – 6 tahun.

The research subjects were 15 children aged 5-6 years at the Dharma Wanita Association Wilayut Kindergarten. Data collection instruments used observation and questionnaires with a pre - experimental design type one group pre-test - post-test. Data analysis techniques use product feasibility tests and effectiveness tests with the N-Gain Test and the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. So the test results are stated as follows: (1) The product feasibility test shows that the percentage value of material experts obtained 89.2% so that the book was declared very suitable for use and the percentage value of media experts obtained 81.2% so that the book was declared very suitable for use.

Meanwhile, the medium percentage for the flexibility thinking indicator is 0.625 and originality thinking is 0.478. Then, when the Wilcoxon test results show a significance result of less than 0.05, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means there is an average difference between the pre-test and post-test. So, from the feasibility test and effectiveness test, it was concluded that the activity worksheet on the topic of flood disaster mitigation was feasible and effective to use to improve the creative thinking of children aged 5 - 6 years. Based on the conclusions, several suggestions were found for further research so that they can pay attention to all weaknesses and time limitations and suggest that they can develop wider teaching materials.
