Fairy tales have been used as learning materials to instill and preserve local wisdom and culture. Current practices in schools show that learning activities revolve around students’ involvement in reading, comprehending, appreciating and identifying moral stories of the tales, be it orally and or in written form. Through R & D procedure (Borg & Gall, 1983) a digital media called “SoON” (Story on Odyssey Naturally) was developed to enable students not only to retell and to identify moral story but further to modify the story depending on students’ creativity. Based on this R & D procedure, 26 fairy tales from Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) and Central Java (Jateng) provinces were used as samples for developing challenging and effective learning materials to support not only folklores preservation but also effective means of enhancing student’s creativity and character education. From limited try out, it can be inferred that the students’ displayed greater motivation in doing the task using “SoON” because it is challenging. They enjoyed exploring the last assignment to exercise their creativity. As it is interesting, the learning outcome would be their character education. From the finding, the researchers contended that more folklore materials need to be converted into a more innovative digital model not only for their preservation but for richer educational values.
