This study focuses on the development and evaluation of an interactive mobile application incorporating gamification techniques for enhancing preschooler's cognitive and recreational activities. The research aims to create an application that is easy to use, engaging, educational, and aligned with the preschool curriculum. The system design is focused on providing a seamless user experience, incorporating game mechanics that encourage engagement, and educational content aligned with the preschool curriculum. The application was evaluated based on usability, functionality, effectiveness, security/privacy, and maintainability, with parameter results ranging from 4.1 to 4.5 out of 5. Overall, the application was rated 4.3 out of 5, indicating a successful and effective application with high usability, functionality, security/privacy, and maintainability. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of gamification techniques for enhancing preschooler's cognitive and recreational activities through interactive mobile applications. This research can be beneficial for developers and educators who want to create engaging and educational applications for preschoolers.
