Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted early childhood education, highlighting the need for building resilience among young children. Research suggests that creative play, specifically through digital puzzles, can help build resilience by developing cognitive, emotional, and social skills. Studies in Indonesia have shown that digital puzzles improve emotional resilience, visual-spatial abilities, and cognitive development in young children. The integration of digital puzzles as a medium for creative play is seen as a valuable strategy to support children's recovery from the pandemic's effects and enhance their ability to cope with future challenges.
