This study aims to determine the effect of Ecoprint techniques on the creativity of 4-5 year-old children at GKPI Kindergarten, Tarutung City, in the academic year 2025/2026. The method used in this study is a quantitative research method with descriptive and inferential statistical approaches. The population in this study was all 22 students of GKPI Kindergarten, Tarutung City, aged 4-5 years, and all of them served as respondents. Data were collected using a 36-item closed-ended questionnaire. The results of the data analysis show that there is an influence of the Ecoprint technique on the creativity of children aged 4-5 years at GKPI Tarutung City Kindergarten in the 2025/2026 Academic Year, this is proven through the following data analysis: 1) Analysis requirements test: a) a positive relationship test obtained rxy = 0.517> rtable (_a = 0.05, n = 22) = 0.423. b) A significant relationship test obtained tcount = 2.704> ttable (_a = 0.05, dk = n-2 = 20) = 2.086. 2) Influence test: a) Regression equation test, obtained regression equation Y ̂ = 29.69 + 0.62X. b) Test of regression determination coefficient (r2) = 26.8%. 3) Hypothesis testing using the F test obtained Fcount > Ftable = (_a = 0.05, dk numerator k = 13, dk denominator = n-2 = 22-2 = 20) which is 7.31 > 2.28. Thus, Ha, namely there is a significant influence of the Ecoprint technique on the creativity of children aged 4-5 years at GKPI Tarutung City Kindergarten in the 2025/2026 Academic Year, is accepted and H₀ which states there is no influence, is rejected.
