In the current digital era, the use of digital media has become an integral part of everyday life, including in the context of early childhood education. This research aims to explore the influence of the role of digital media in stimulating color recognition and its impact on improving aspects of cognitive development in 4 year old children. This research used an experimental method involving a number of 4 year old children who were exposed to interactive digital media specifically designed to teach colors. Data was collected through direct observation and cognitive development tests carried out before and after the intervention. The research results show that digital media can significantly improve children's ability to recognize colors and provide positive stimulation to other aspects of cognitive development, such as memory, attention and problem-solving abilities. These findings suggest that the integration of digital media in color learning can be an effective tool to support cognitive development in early childhood.
