Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa kegiatan memercik dalam pembelajaran daring dapat meningkatkan kreativitas anak. Hasil penilaian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan dalam kreativitas anak melalui kegiatan memercik dalam pembelajaran daring.

Since the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia, learning activities in schools have been replaced by learning from home. Creativity is an important ability for early childhood. Children's creativity through splashing activities is very low because they are only glued to one type of natural material, even though there are still many natural materials that can be used for sprinkling. Therefore, researchers conducted research through qualitative descriptive research methods. This study aims to increase children's creativity through splashing activities in online learning carried out in group A as many as 10 people, 4 boys and 6 girls. Data collection techniques used by researchers are observation, interviews, and documentation studies to clarify the results of observations to increase children's creativity through splashing activities in online learning. The data analysis used in this research is data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the study, it is known that splashing activities in online learning can increase children's creativity. The results of the assessment carried out showed that there was an increase in children's creativity through splashing activities. Children's responses through splashing activities are very happy because they can express themselves in their environment, children can be active and not bored in doing their activities. It can be concluded that children's creativity can develop if children are given various learning media so that children do not get bored and allow children to explore.
