This community service aims to enhance the visual creativity of early childhood children through collage art activities at MIN 2 Kota Palangka Raya. In the current digital era, children are often exposed to passive visual media, which can hinder the development of their active creativity. Through the collage art approach, students are given the freedom to create using various materials such as colored paper, origami, and glue, which stimulate fine motor skills and visual creativity. The research method used involved direct guidance in creating collages, followed by the presentation of material about collage art and the steps for creating it. The results of the community service show that collage activities can improve students' creativity, visual expression, and fine motor skills. Additionally, these activities can also boost students' self-confidence in expressing themselves freely and creatively. These findings suggest that collage art can serve as an effective medium in art education at the elementary school level and is highly beneficial for fostering children's creativity from an early age.

One of them is in early childhood which helps improve their cognitive development. The aim of Community Service in the field of Education is to serve Bina Bangsa University students in implementing their knowledge in society. The stages carried out include conducting a survey, determining the use of motor methods, as well as service in PAUD in the Bulakan Village environment. The results of the service were carried out at two Early Childhood Education schools using different motor skill activity methods, both gross motor and fine motor. The conclusion of this PKM in the Education sector is good for finding out one of the education problems in one village regarding the education of early childhood students.

Real work education (KKN) is an education in the form of community service. In this service, students apply the theories they have after studying for several semesters into a real form of community service. In this service, students carry out several activities that develop children's physical motor skills. Physical development is the growth or changes experienced in a person's body which are clearly visible from changes in the shape and size of a person's body. Motor development is controlling the development of body movements through coordinated activity of muscles, nerves and nerve centers. Therefore, a child's physical motoric development is a process that the child goes through regarding the growth and development that occurs in the child. The aim of this research is to find out the extent of children's physical motor development through real work lecture activities.

In 2018, Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data showed that the prevalence of wasting in children under five in Indonesia was 10.2%, while in the age group under two years (baduta) it was higher, namely 11.7%. Nutrition Status Monitoring Data for 2017 also shows that the prevalence of wasting in under-fives is higher, which is 12.8% when compared to the toddler group, which is 9.5% (Ministry of Health RI, 2018). Based on the WHO classification, wasting in the underdog group in Indonesia is categorized as a serious public health problem, with a prevalence in the range of 10-14%. Malnutrition that occurs in 1,000 HPK, besides being at risk of inhibiting physical growth (failure to thrive) and being susceptible to disease (metabolic disorders: DM. Hypertension, obesity), also inhibits cognitive development (motor cognitive impairment) which will affect the level of intelligence and productivity of children in the future.
