Results: The research results showed that before the drawing and coloring play therapy, there were 18.8% in the high creativity category, 25% in the medium creativity category and 56.2% in the low creativity category. Furthermore, after playing therapy with drawing and coloring, there was a change to 93.8% in the high creativity category and 6.2% in the medium creativity category. Conclusion: The results of the analysis using the dependent t test showed p=0.000 (p<0.05), which means there is an influence of the application of drawing and coloring play therapy in increasing creativity in children.
