Abstract: The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) was first introduced by Howard Gardner covering nine intelligences. This research focuses on the visual-spatial intelligence among five graders at Primary School Plus Al-Kautsar Malang, aimed to describe three aspects: (1) the MI-based thematic learning strategies in developing student creativity (covering planning, implementation, and evaluation), (2) the forms of students’ visual-spatial creativity, and (3) the implications of such learning in increasing student creativity. The research method was qualitative case study using observation, interviews, documentation as the data collection techniques. The data analysis techniques covered reducing data, presenting data and drawing conclusions, checking the validity of the data using the triangulation method based on Miles and Huberman’s theory. The research findings demonstrated the MI-based thematic learning strategies in developing student creativity in the forms of MIR, lesson plans, introductory activities (alpha zone, warmer, scene setting), core activities using learning resources, teaching aids, activity procedures and project, and closing activities. The evaluation addressed the social-spiritual, cognitive, psychomotor aspects. The students' creativity was realized in the forms of drawing, making works of blocks, composing puzzles, making windmills, batik pictures, and posters. Then, the implications raised include the provision of infrastructure and individual learning.
