Play also supports memory, focus, and social skills such as cooperation, sharing and conflict resolution. Thus, play-based approaches are essential in supporting the holistic development of early childhood. This study aims to explore play strategies that can effectively stimulate children's cognitive development, as well as provide applicative guidance for parents and educators to optimize these methods. It is hoped that the findings from this research can be a source of insight for creating play activities that are not only fun but also full of educational value, in order to support the maximum learning experience for children.
