Improving children fine motor skills has a positive impact on the aspects of fine motor development. In 2015, there were 16% children in Indonesia who had impaired fine motor development. In several studies, it has been shown that constructive play activities can foster fine motor development. This study aimed to know the effect of constructive play activities on fine motor development. This research employed Non-probability sampling using accidental sampling technique based on chance and unplanned encounters. The research instrument used was observation sheets and DDST paper. The population in this research was all 45students from TK Az-Zahra Racing Centre in the academic year of 2018/2019. Among these students, 21 children were chosen as the research samples through accidental sampling technique. The result of this research showed that from 16 (100.0%) whose constructive play activities were not stimulated, there were 5 respondents (31.3%) who had inappropriate fine motor development, while the other 11 (86.8%) respondents had appropriate fine motor development. Meanwhile, out of 5 (100.0%) respondents who played constructive play activities, all of them had appropriate fine motor development. This shows that there was and effect between and after constructive play activities on fine motor development with p value of 0.01 (p <a = 0.05). The study concludes that there was an effect on the fine motor development before and after the constructive play activities were carried out. Based on this research, it is expected that the next researchers will conduct research with a larger number of samples.
Development is an important role in the lives of children. There are still many children with developmental disturbance particularly on the development of gross motor and fine motor skills. There are several impact of these motor disturbances, such as the child would face difficulties to draw, to move from one place to another and so on. At this point, the research was conducted to comprehend how far children are be able to perform tasks for motor development and which are not. The research design used was descriptive survey design with 353 respondents. Instrument in this study was PSQD (Pre-Screening Questionnaire of Development) which had been standardized by ministry of health. Results of this study were in the age group 48 gross motor development >80% can be achieved and fine motor >70%, aged 54 months at gross motor >90% and fine motor >80%, aged 60 months at gross motor >95% and motor subtle >95%, aged 66 months gross motor >90% and fine motor >80%, aged 72 months gross motor >80% and fine motor >90%. The conclusions of this research were more than 80% gross motor development are fulfilled and the development of fine motor more than 70% are fulfilled. However, there were some preschool children who were found to have gross and fine motor delay. Therefore, it can be suggested that improvement of the detection of early child development implementation is surely needed, so it can be discovered at an early stage when there is a developmental disorder in children, subsequently, children with developmental disorder can immediately obtain the intervention or treatment.

The research was conducted with the aim to, using experimental methods, scientifically determine whether an additional physical exercise program in regular working conditions of a preschool institution could result in significant changes in the motor skills of preschool children with an average age of 6.21±0.56 years. A total of 64 preschool children, girls (n=28) and boys (n=36), enrolled in preparatory preschool groups in "Čukarica" preschool in Belgrade. A pre-experimental research plan was used, specifically a single-group design and pretest-posttest. A sample of measuring instruments of motor skills was compiled according to a reduced theoretical model (Gredelj et al., 1975; Kurelić et al., 1975) taken from the research of Bala and Popović (2007). The experimental factor was realized with a total of 48 lessons lasting 35 minutes over a 24-week time interval. The results of the study indicate that the quantitative changes in the final measurement are reflected in the repetitive force of the torso and coordination in favor of better average values of the boys. Two hypothetical motor factors were isolated in initial and final measurements, which can still be interpreted as one general Motor Factor. Qualitative changes in the structure of both extracted factors in the final measurement were not observed. The authors believe that a regular physical education program in preschool institutions is not sufficient for a preparatory preschool group, and that additional kinesiology activities yield better results in the mechanism for structuring the movement and regulating the duration of excitation, especially if it is directed towards the development of biotic motor knowledge. On the other hand, they believe that newer and more meaningful solutions must be found in terms of differentiated physical exercise programs for children, and that only such solutions could lead to qualitative changes in the structure of isolated factors.

Fine motor development is still a problem of the children and toddlers development in the world and Indonesia. One of the efforts to improve fine motor skills is by coloring and playdought methods for preschoolers as an educational game therapy. This study aimed to examine the fine motor development of preschoolers through coloring and playdough methods. This research design used a series of pretest-posttest design by involving 60 kindergarten students which were divided into 4 groups consisting of 15 respondents. First group was given the playdought method, 2 nd group was given the coloring intervention, 3 rd group was given the coloring method and playdough and 4 th group was the control. Interventions were given 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Before the intervention was given, the whole group was pre-tested. Evaluation of fine motor skills was done by observation that use performance test conducted at the end of each experiment. The results of data collection were then analyzed using multivariate anova. The results of the study showed that after the post test at 4 th week, there was a change in fine motor skills ranging from groups 1 to 4 (F = 328,961 and p value = 0,000). The fine motor skills of children who received the best combination of coloring and playdough therapy (mean = 85.33, SD = 1.29) increased almost 4 times more than the initial measurement (mean = 18.33, SD = 4.74) compared to the three other groups.
Fine motor skill is the ability to control movement through activities coordination of nervous system, fibril, and muscles such as fingers and hands. Fine motor skill is also seen as a very important factor in the process of developing cognitive abilities in early childhood. This study aims to see how to develop fine motor skills in early childhood. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach (multi case single site case study design) involving 2 teachers. Data were collected through observation and interviews, then analyzed thematically using NVIVO 10 software. The results showed that fine motor skill development was carried out using the method of assignment in four ways: (i) Providing tools and materials, (ii) providing direction and opportunities for practice, (iii) observe children individually and in groups, (iv) evaluate their fine motor skill development on an ongoing basis. This study shows that these four ways can be used as an alternative in developing fine motor skill in early childhood.
