One effective medium to develop fine motor abilities is the busy book, which provides hands-on, interactive learning experiences. This study aimed to examine the improvement of fine motor skills using busy books among 5–6-year-old children in Class B at POS PAUD Mawar 2 Kamojing. The research involved 14 participants and employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design implemented over two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through structured observation, documentation, and interviews. The findings revealed substantial progress in children’s fine motor development. Initially, no children were classified as Very Well Developed (BSB) or Well Developed as Expected (BSH), with 28.57% in the Developing (MB) category and 71.43% in Not Yet Developed (BB). By the end of Cycle I, the distribution shifted to 14.29% BSB, 28.57% BSH, and 57.14% MB. In Cycle II, 85.71% of children achieved BSB and 14.29% BSH, with no children remaining in the MB or BB categories. Notable improvements were observed in buttoning clothes, opening, and closing bottle caps, and precisely pinching pompoms.
