Childhood is a golden phase to learn new things through play and learning activities. At this phase, children began to be introduced to science, social, artistic, historical and other scientific sciences in both formal and informal spheres. the Indonesian education curriculum, history is a compulsory subject that studies knowledge of world history and Indonesian nation. By knowing the origin of the Indonesian national identity, it is expected that it can instill a spirit of nationalism. However, there is some interesting information about Indonesia's history that is not in the book. It is about the fashion styles of Indonesia's pre-independence era in the 1930- 1940 period. Therefore, we need a tool that discusses thematic aspects in order to introduce the history of the Indonesian nation that is not discussed in the book with media, specifically designed for children. Media that is considered to have the potential to increase children's interest in learning history is an encyclopedia book with pop-up features and interactive games in it. The purpose of this design is to increase children's interest in Indonesian history by discussing fashion styles as the main topic. which is expected to broaden their knowledge and increase the spirit of nationalism in the younger generation. The methodology of this research such as literature studies, questionnaires, observations, and comparison of similar works. Meanwhile, the interactive pop-up encyclopedia book design method is divided into preproduction, production and post-production. Based on data and analysis results it turns out that many children are interested in the development of fashion styles, especially in Indonesia in the past, but did not find any information about it. Based on the results of data analysis, with interactive pop-up features, and games contained in this design, the researcher considered that it is sufficient to attract the main target, namely children. The Interactive Pop-Up Encyclopedia book will provide historical insights about the history of Indonesia's pre-independence fashion style with a fun concept through games and mechanisms contained in this design.
