The basic key for a Muslim is to be able to read the Qur'an by recognizing the hijaiyah letters from an early age. However, through the commonly used classical learning methods, still not enough to facilitate the optimal learning process. This is marked by the emergence of various problems in children learning, such as the lack of children's attention and the frequent phonology of hijaiyah letters. Therefore, we need a method and other media as an alternative that can facilitate the light and fun learning process, one of kind is edutainment animation. This study aims to design an edutainment animations that can improve the ability to recognize and read hijaiyah letters for early childhood. In this design, uses the relevance method which consists of content aspects, learning model aspects and media aspects that are interconnected and related. These three aspects include in introduction of 29 hijaiyah letters, delivered through 3D animation, using the sound method (tariqah shautiyyah), through the association of hijaiyah letters with animal characterization. The stages in this design include the design thinking method, with descriptive qualitative approach, starting from the empathize, define, ideate, prototyping, and user testing stages. The process of data collection by literature study, interviews and observations. Findings based on previous literature and animation studies show that the prevalence of nursery rhymes which includes 3R's elements (rhymes, rhythm and repetition) is an element that must be included in the design of edutainment animation media, so the learning idea can be well received by children. In this animation, the process of delivering rhymes, rhythm and repetition, is carried out through a series of visual storytelling which includes three elements, namely: narrative elements, visual elements and sound elements. Narrative elements use a storytelling style that conveyed by character-to-character dialogue, character-to-animal dialogue and characterizations. The sound element uses backsound, rhymes, rhythm and repetition as a strategy for remembering the material, while the visual element includes cinematography, mise-en-scene and cartoon style 3D animation visuals.
