The purpose of this study is to create a learning technology in the form of an electronic Montessori Sand Board Letter (SBL) Puzzle for Indonesian syllables that can help stimulate early childhood according to the Montessori principle in recognizing syllables. The system development method uses the System Development Life-Cycle (SDLC) method. Based on the results of functional testing using the black box method, it is stated that the entire functional system is 100% functioning according to the system design. The results of testing and validation by Montessori practitioners state that the system has been made according to Montessori rules. Based on the results of usage observations, the Montessori Sand Board Letter (SBL) electronic puzzle for 85% Indonesian syllables can stimulate children's ability to recognize Indonesian syllables
