The data collected by questionnaire sheets were adopted from instrument for assessing child development, namely KPSP. Intervention was given by brain exercise were carried out 3 times a week for 2 months then analyzed using Wilcoxon with a significance value of α = 0.05. The results showed that brain exercise in pre-school children was able to improve fine motor  skills (p = 0.000). Brain gym is one of the effective ways to improve fine motor skills in children because being able to facilitate blood flow and oxygen to the brain also helps overall brain development.
