The community service activity in the form of a Finger Puppet Workshop as a Creative Learning Medium aims to improve the skills of educators and prospective educators in making and implementing finger puppets as a learning medium. This activity was held on February 1, 2025, at the Sahid Islamic Institute in Bogor and was attended by 30 participants consisting of students, teachers, and education practitioners. The implementation method used a participatory training approach that included preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The workshop began with introductory material, then demonstrations and practice of making finger puppets. The results of the activity showed that participants were highly enthusiastic, able to produce finger puppets independently, and understood their use to support creative learning. This workshop had a positive impact in improving the pedagogical skills of participants and strengthening their literacy in simple but effective learning media. This activity is expected to encourage educators to be more creative in utilizing alternative learning media to improve the quality of learning at various levels of education.
