cognitive understanding to recognize geometric shapes. To overcome this problem, researcher tried to deliver learning through the kinetic sand medium that can be one of the interesting alternative to be a learning medium. This study used a Class Action Research (CAR) method. The results showed a gradual improvement in the ability to recognize geometric shapes by playing kinetic sand. The increased ability to know the geometric shapes can be seen on the indicator of the ability to know, understand, and apply of the geometric shapes in playing. Children's ability to recognize shapes through playing the geometric kinetic sand was increased from 27.7% (pre-action stage) to 56% (in the first cycle) and increased to 85% (the second cycle). The steps that can improving the ability to recognize geometric shapes through the playing medium of kinetic sand are through recognizing the shapes of circles, triangles, quadrangles, rectangles, grouping large and small, grouping objects according to their shape, knowing the process (the causes-effects), and the enthusiasm of children in carrying out activities from the beginning to the end.
