In the concept of independent learning at the early childhood education level, these competencies include learning outcomes in elements of stimulation of the basics of literacy, mathematics, science, technology, engineering and art. This study intends to develop a play activity-based learning model that stimulates early childhood creativity. The learning strategy that is considered suitable for cultivating students' critical thinking skills is HOTS. HOTS is intended to develop children's skills in knowing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics which in turn can foster students' creative abilities.

Andini's learning model was developed from the following steps: Play Orientation, Form Patterns, Evaluate and Celebrate which are applied to improve early childhood creativity skills. This type of research is development research using the Ploom and Nieven development research model. The data obtained are in the form of criteria for validity, effectiveness, and student responses. the Thematic learning model was declared valid by experts with a validation value of 80%, and effective for training creativity skills with a high effectiveness category of 0.75, student responses to learning were very good with a value of 85%. So that the Thematic learning model can be used as an innovative model that can be used by teachers to train early childhood critical thinking skills.
