Fine motor skills are an important component of early childhood development that requires stimulation through engaging play activities. Observations conducted at Permata Gumanti Kindergarten indicate that children's fine motor skills remain underdeveloped. This study aims to improve the fine motor skills of early childhood learners through games utilizing natural materials in the context of Permata Gumanti Kindergarten. The methodological framework used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), structured into two cycles that include the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. The research subjects were all children at Permata Gumanti Kindergarten. Data collection methods were carried out through systematic observation, structured interviews, and documentation. The research findings revealed a significant improvement in children's fine motor skills. Initially, the majority of children were classified in the Beginning to Develop (MB) category. In the first cycle, improvement was observed; however, it did not meet the predetermined success indicators. After intervention in the second cycle, 80% of children achieved the Developing According to Expectations (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) classifications. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the use of natural materials in games is an effective approach to improving the fine motor skills of early childhood at Permata Gumanti Kindergarten.
