Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effects of learning experience provision through land art activities on creative thinking for young children in Bantalingchan School. The populations of this research were 7 male and female preschool children, ages between 5 and 6 years old. They were studying in Kindergarten 3, the 1st semester, academic year of 2022 at Bantalingchan School Nuea Khlong district, Krabi province, under Krabi Primary Education Service Area Office 1. The research instruments consisted of learning experience provision through land art activity plans, the evaluation of operational creative thinking for young children and the behavior observation form. Data was analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, relative gain scores, and content analysis. The results showed that young children who had learning experience

(μ=6.10). Moreover, the relative gain score was 75.60 which was at the high level. The results
