<![CDATA[Early childhood is an important period for developing fine motor skills, including hand–eye coordination, finger control, and accuracy in carrying out practical activities. Initial observations described in the research proposal at Cahaya Bunda Kindergarten, Padang, indicated that some children had difficulty holding crayons and scissors correctly, coloring within patterns, folding paper neatly, and placing glued pieces according to a pattern. This article draft aims to describe a proposed study investigating the influence of project-based 4M activities—coloring, cutting, folding, and pasting—on the fine motor skills of children aged 5–6 years. The study is planned to use a quantitative pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Participants will complete an initial assessment, receive three treatment sessions involving integrated 4M project activities, and complete a final assessment. Data will be collected through observation using a checklist containing eight indicators and analyzed by comparing pretest and posttest scores. Since the uploaded document is a research proposal, the study results are not yet available and are not reported in this draft]]>
