Abstract

Background: Fine motor development in early childhood plays a vital role in preparing children for academic activities and daily independence. Delays in this area can affect a child’s confidence and self-reliance. Aims: To examine the effect of weaving stimulation using origami techniques on improving fine motor skills in children aged 4–6 years. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 31 children selected through total sampling from a kindergarten in Tasikmalaya. The intervention consisted of two 60-minute sessions focused on origami-based weaving activities designed to train hand-eye coordination, finger movement precision, and independence. The assessment instrument was a fine motor observation sheet developed by the researcher based on 10 indicators of early childhood development, using an interval scale of 1–4. Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest scores (mean 25.13 ± 1.54) and posttest scores (mean 36.77 ± 1.28), as indicated by the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (Z = -4.876; p = 0.000). Conclusion: These findings suggest that origami weaving stimulation is an effective and enjoyable approach to enhancing fine motor skills in young children. The study recommends integrating similar activities into early childhood education programs as a practical and engaging developmental stimulus

Abstract

Background: Fine motor and cognitive skills are essential aspects of preschool children's development, as they are closely related to learning readiness, independence, and self-confidence. Aims: To determine the effect of kinetic sand play on the improvement of fine motor and cognitive development in children aged 3–5 years. Methods: This research applied a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the two-group pretest-posttest with control group design. The population consisted of 80 children, and 36 were selected as samples using purposive sampling, with 18 children in both the intervention and control groups. Data were collected using standardized observation sheets and analyzed using the Paired t-test and Independent t-test. Results: The results showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in the intervention group p = 0.000 (< 0.05), as well as a significant difference between the intervention and control groups after the intervention p = 0.000 (< 0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that kinetic sand play has a positive effect on improving children's fine motor and cognitive development. This activity is recommended to be implemented as an educational stimulus in early childhood education settings, as it is enjoyable, safe, and capable of stimulating children's holistic development.
