<![CDATA[This study aimed to describe the implementation of sensory play methods in developing children's fine motor skills at PAUD Bina Insania Arrahman, Ternate City. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with 15 group B children as subjects and two class teachers and one principal as informants. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and field notes. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with triangulation for data validity. The results of the study showed: (1) planning was carried out systematically through RPPH integrated with the learning theme, carried out at least three times a week for 30-45 minutes; (2) implementation used varied materials including playdough, water, sand, seeds, and local natural materials with teachers acting as facilitators, observers, motivators, guides, and models; (3) children's fine motor development increased significantly with tripod grasp abilities increasing to 80%, eye-hand coordination 87%, pincer grasp 87%, and bilateral coordination 73%; and (4) obstacles including limited space and preparation time were overcome through the use of outdoor activities, parental cooperation, and intensive communication. Conclusion: The implementation of the sensory play method effectively develops children's fine motor skills through the creative use of local materials and child-centered learning.]]>
