This study explores how designing traditional costumes on Unity Dolls promotes national unity among young children. Grounded in Piaget's cognitive development theory and aligned with SDG 4 and SDG 16, this initiative integrates play, cultural exploration, and environmental responsibility. A qualitative study with 230 kindergarteners from diverse backgrounds in Selangor found that the activity enhanced cultural awareness, creativity, and social cohesion. Children accurately identified ethnic attire and incorporated cultural symbols. Using eco-friendly materials reinforced sustainability concepts. The Unity Dolls project effectively fosters cultural literacy, inclusivity, and unity, providing a scalable model for early childhood education.
