This study used quanitative research with the Single Subject Design (SSD) method. The research design used in this study is using the A-B-A reversal design. Data collection was carried out using with a pre-test post-test experimental research design without clear control. The results of this study indicate that robotics activities can improve the creative thinking skills of early childhood. Robotics activities can improve creative thinking skills because the implementation of robotics activities is an activity based on constructive and manipulative activities. The characteristics of creative thinking skills that are improved through robotic activities are fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and tenacity and patience.
