In order to conduct the study, 15 infants at H day care center and 15 infants at S day care center, both located in Seoul, were selected as the subjects.

For study instrument, the behavior test for creative play developed by Hwang Yoon Sae (2008) was used. This instrument consisted of total 5 subfactors: intrinsic motivation – imagination; sensitivity – curiosity; durability – immersion; various interests – challenge; and initiative – independence. For statistical analysis, SPSS 17.0 was used, and t-test was used for the statistic process. As a result of the experiment, it was concluded that the education experience using multimedia has positive effect on overall characteristics of creative behavior of infants; in detail, behavior characteristics of infants in the aspects of intrinsic motivation – imagination, sensitivity – curiosity, and durability – immersion were remarkably improved, whereas the characteristics in the aspects of interests – challenge and initiative-independence did not show any particular changes.
