This study aims to describe the impact of hand puppet-making training in Gugus Anyelir on the improvement of skills and professional attitudes of early childhood educators. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that the hand puppet-making training provided meaningful learning experiences for early childhood educators. Changes observed after the training included an increase in educators’ knowledge of the pedagogical functions of hand puppets, enhanced skills in creating and using hand puppet media, growth in autonomy in designing learning media independently, and increased confidence in conducting creative teaching. The findings confirm that practical skill-based training has a tangible impact on improving educators’ professional capacity through changes in experience, knowledge, skills, autonomy, and self-confidence
