This action research explores the impact of handmade, 3-D interactive teaching aids on preschool development. Moving away from passive rote learning, the study introduces a "Discovery-based Model" using a custom-designed rhyme book, shadow puppetry, and kinesthetic tasks. Findings reveal that sensory engagement through tactile "reveal" mechanisms and symbolic rhyming anchors significantly boosts cognitive retention and emotional involvement in children aged 3–5. The study advocates for low-cost, expert-validated tools as a sustainable alternative to digital media in early childhood settings.
