This research aims to describe Blended Learning to increase students' interest in learning. Blended Learning is an application created to overcome limitations between educators and students, especially in terms of space and time. Interest in learning is an aspect of a person's psychology that manifests itself in several symptoms, such as; passion, desire, feeling of liking to carry out the process of changing behavior through various activities which include seeking knowledge and experience. This research uses descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach, namely describing or depicting research objects based on visible facts or as they really are. The research results show that learning can be done online using blended learning so it is necessary to give full attention to learning and this attention is because students feel happy and challenged to take part in learning activities both in class and in the classroom. Students' interest in learning is influenced by internal factors and external factors. Students who have good physical and mental abilities and supportive environmental conditions can foster good student interest in learning. Blended learning is very helpful in learning during a pandemic like now so that it can foster children's interest in learning and make children more motivated to learn.
