Abstract

Learning in Early Childhood Education institutions is learning that applies a learning system through play. All forms of learning in early childhood are mostly done through a game. This is done because this method is more suitable for children who tend to prefer to play. In addition to fun learning, the use of Educational Game Tools (APE) is also a tool that can help the learning process be more enjoyable, because in essence, early childhood learns from real objects.
