Teachers rarely use natural materials around the school environment to encourage classification skills in children aged 5-6 years. Teachers only use media in the form of concrete objects in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of natural media in improving early childhood’s classification ability. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with interviews, observation and documentation as data collection method. The results of this study indicate that the teacher used the natural media to develop their pupils’ object classification skills. During playing and learning activities teachers used natural materials such as tree branches, seeds, colourful liquid or syrup and inanimate objects. Learning activities carried out by students were searching, collecting, grouping, differentiating, playing science, and planting. This study concludes that the use of natural media can improve the classification skills of early childhood.
