Abstract

This study aims to improve the fine motor skills of early childhood through the implementation of drawing and coloring activities in the Integrated PAUD Kemala Bhayangkari 14 Panyabungan. The study used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with two cycles including the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The activity involved 133 students divided into groups of Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B. The research instrument used an observation sheet with a rating scale of 1-4, namely Very Well Developed (BSB), Developed According to Expectations (BSH), Starting to Develop (MB), and Not Yet Developed (BB) and analyzed using percentages to see improvements between cycles. The results showed an increase in the percentage of the BSB category from 27% in cycle I to 46% in cycle II. These findings indicate that drawing and coloring activities designed in a structured and reflective manner are effective in stimulating the fine motor development of early childhood.
