Indonesian traditional Fabrics are a cultural heritage that has made Indonesia proud and deserves to be preserved and maintained because it is an Indonesian cultural identity that is rich in meaning in colors and patterns, also reflects cultural values from various places in the country. The introduction of Indonesian traditional fabrics should be done early on to instill a sense of love and pride for Indonesia's cultural heritage. The younger generation, including elementary school age children, are the guardians so that cultural heritage is not lost in the future. However, elementary school children's knowledge of Indonesian Traditional Fabrics is still limited. Limited knowledge of Indonesian traditional cloth in elementary school children must be overcome. The source of the books available in elementary schools (formal education) regarding fabric mostly use text with a few pictures, so that elementary school children quickly get bored and are less interested in reading. This design aims to help teachers and parents introduce and bring the interest of elementary school children aged 6-12 years in traditional Indonesian fabrics in a fun way, namely interactive activities on each sheet. The results of the design are in the form of demonstration sheets to help teachers introduce a variety of Indonesian traditional fabrics to children aged 6-12 years which are accompanied by interactive learning activities, so that children not only read, but take advantage of various activities to stimulate curiosity and children can learning Indonesian traditional fabrics while exploring and creating.
