In the current digitization era, it is essential to develop interactive learning media that engage children. Also, a learning approach that includes both real and digital media can be made more exciting and less tedious. This can be achieved through fun learning while still valuing traditional and interactive approaches. Therefore, this study aims to develop media solutions for early childhood and kindergarten teachers to facilitate teaching and learning. The created media include Android applications that use Augmented Reality (AR) technology to make the experience more fun and book media based on the kindergarten curriculum. Parents and caregivers can use these media to teach their children about the living room, toilet, and other places. When the Android application scans a picture, it will show animated 3D objects through Augmented Reality. Also, the application has a free picture coloring option, and it needs to be supervised by parents or teachers through a process called digital parenting. The development and verification results showed this media is suitable for implementation in schools and kindergartens. © 2022, International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies.
