Abstract

Fine motor skills are crucial for early childhood development. One way to foster these skills is through cutting activities. Such activities help train hand-eye coordination, finger muscle strength, and precision. Preliminary observations at Bina Lestari Kindergarten indicated that the children were still struggling with cutting tasks. This study aims to describe the process and outcomes of stimulation provided through cutting activities for children aged 4–5 years. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The subjects were five children from Group A at Bina Lestari Kindergarten, located in Sesait Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Data were collected through participant observation, documentation, and field notes over four sessions spanning two weeks. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that consistent stimulation through cutting activities led to improvements in the children's fine motor skills: children who were initially afraid to hold scissors became confident, their grip technique improved, and their cutting results became neater and more aligned with the patterns. The cutting activities also fostered greater confidence, concentration, and hand-eye coordination. The study concludes that cutting activities are an effective medium for stimulating fine motor skills in children aged 4–5 years.
