Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of finger painting in improving the fine motor skills of Group A children aged 5–6 years at KB PAUD Al-Mubarak Sukamandi Baru. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. The sample consisted of 18 children, 8 boys and 10 girls. Data were collected through an observation sheet of 15 valid indicators with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.867, supported by documentation, and analyzed using a paired sample t-test after a normality test. The results showed that the mean fine motor score increased from 22.06 in the pretest to 44.89 in the posttest. The t-count of 25.973 exceeded the t-table value of 2.110 at df = 17 and α = 0.05, with a significance value below 0.001, so the null hypothesis was rejected. It can be concluded that finger painting is effective in improving the fine motor skills of early childhood children and can be recommended as an alternative learning activity. Because the study had no control group and used a small sample, further research with a more rigorous design is recommended.
