<![CDATA[Abstract: General Background: Fine motor skills are an important aspect of early childhood development and require appropriate stimulation through learning activities. Specific Background: Observations at Al-Ikhsan Islamic Kindergarten showed that several 4–5-year-old children experienced difficulties in activities such as holding pencils and opening bottle caps, indicating that their fine motor abilities were not yet optimal. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have reported the use of various artistic and learning activities to support fine motor skills, while the present study focuses on collage activities using simple materials for children aged 4–5 years in the observed classroom context. Aims: This study aims to examine the implementation of collage activities and the improvement of fine motor skills among 4–5-year-old children. Results: Classroom action research was conducted in two cycles with 16 children through observation and documentation. Fine motor achievement increased from 12.50% in the pre-cycle to 37.50% in Cycle I and 87.50% in Cycle II. The activities involved picking, arranging, and attaching simple materials, including paper scraps, corn kernels, and Dacron, onto prepared picture patterns. Improvements in the second cycle followed adjustments to the picture size, materials, and activity instructions. Novelty: The study applies simple-material collage activities as a classroom action to support fine motor skills in the specific context of 4–5-year-old children at Al-Ikhsan Islamic Kindergarten. Implications: The findings indicate that structured collage activities using accessible materials can provide stimulation for eye-hand coordination, finger strength, and controlled hand movements in early childhood learning. Key Findings Achievement increased from 12.50% before the intervention to 87.50% after two cycles. Fourteen of 16 participants reached the completion criterion in the second cycle. Larger patterns and more manageable materials supported improved task performance.
