This article investigates the incorporation of loose parts as a means to enhance student creativity within educational environments. Loose parts refer to flexible, movable objects that can be manipulated, combined, and repurposed in various ways. The study delves into the theoretical underpinnings that support the connection between loose parts and creativity, highlighting the significance of hands-on, interactive learning experiences. The research employed a quantitative approach to assess the improvement in students' creativity, utilizing t-test as the measurement tool. The analysis technique employed non-parametric inferential statistics and involved a sample of 20 students from Junior High School 4 in Malang. The findings of this study indicated a notable increase in student creativity through the implementation of loose parts in the learning process. Consequently, based on these results, it is recommended that educators consider incorporating loose parts to foster creativity among students. [For the full proceedings, see ED652261.]
