Abstract. This research was motivated by the low gross motor skills of children aged 3–4 years at Kober Dar Al-Fikri (BB category, 41.7% achievement) due to limited innovative media and structured physical activities. The aim was to determine the effect of Sensory Path media on gross motor skills. The pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest method involved 7 children (saturated sampling). The instrument was an observation sheet based on STPPA Regulation No. 137/2014 (6 indicators, scores 1–4). The intervention was conducted in one session (60–90 minutes) using Sensory Path banner containing footprints, zigzags, circles, and palm prints. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk, Paired Sample T-Test, Cohen's d, and N-Gain (SPSS 27). Results: (1) initial skills averaged 10.00 (BB); (2) the intervention was pleasant and interactive; (3) final skills increased to 13.00 (MB); (4) there was a significant difference (t = -6.148; df=6; Sig.<0.001), H₀ rejected. Cohen's d=2.324 (very large effect), N-Gain=0.17 (low). Conclusion: Sensory Path media significantly improves gross motor skills in children aged 3–4 years with a very large effect, although the actual increase is low due to short intervention duration. This media is recommended to be integrated sustainably into daily early childhood learning programs. Abstrak. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi rendahnya motorik kasar anak usia 3–4 tahun di Kober Dar Al-Fikri (kategori BB, capaian 41,7%) akibat terbatasnya media inovatif dan aktivitas fisik terstruktur. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui pengaruh media Sensory Path terhadap motorik kasar anak. Metode pre-eksperimen one group pretest-posttest melibatkan 7 anak (sampling jenuh). Instrumen lembar observasi berdasarkan STPPA Permendikbud No. 137/2014 (6 indikator, skor 1–4). Intervensi satu pertemuan (60–90 menit) menggunakan Sensory Path banner berisi jejak kaki, zig-zag, lingkaran, dan telapak tangan. Analisis data menggunakan Shapiro-Wilk, Paired Sample T-Test, Cohen's d, dan N-Gain (SPSS 27). Hasil: (1) kemampuan awal rata-rata 10,00 (BB); (2) intervensi berlangsung menyenangkan dan interaktif; (3) kemampuan akhir meningkat menjadi 13,00 (MB); (4) terdapat perbedaan signifikan (*t* = -6,148; df=6; Sig.<0,001), H₀ ditolak. Cohen's d=2,324 (efek sangat besar), N-Gain=0,17 (rendah). Simpulan: media Sensory Path berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan motorik kasar anak usia 3–4 tahun dengan efek sangat besar, meskipun peningkatan aktual rendah karena durasi intervensi singkat. Media direkomendasikan untuk diintegrasikan berkelanjutan dalam pembelajaran harian PAUD.
