Abstract

This study aims to improve children’s fine motor skills through collage activities at RA Budi Utomo. Fine motor development is an essential aspect of early childhood education, as it supports children’s readiness for writing, drawing, and other learning activities. However, observations indicated that many children still experienced difficulties in hand coordination, finger flexibility, and precise movements, which limited their learning performance. To address this issue, collage activities were introduced as a creative and engaging medium to strengthen fine motor skills. The research employed a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants were 20 children aged 4–5 years. Various collage activities, such as tearing paper, cutting, pasting, and arranging materials into creative patterns, were used to stimulate hand–eye coordination and dexterity. Data were collected through observation, performance assessments, and teacher field notes. The results showed that children’s fine motor skills improved significantly after the implementation of collage activities. In the first cycle, only a limited number of children achieved the expected development indicators, while in the second cycle, the majority demonstrated progress in precision, neatness, and independence. These findings suggest that collage activities are an effective method for developing fine motor skills while fostering creativity, concentration, and enjoyment in early childhood learning.

The background of the study began with the low interest of children in participating in artistic activities, especially singing and learning about music. This condition encouraged the researcher to use the Beautiful Bottle media as an educational prop made from eight used glass beverage bottles that were attractively decorated and filled with water at different heights to produce a variety of tones. The research method used was classroom action research (CAR) which was carried out in four cycles, with 20 children as research subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's artistic abilities, both in terms of recognizing the sound of notes, following the rhythm, and enthusiasm in learning activities. In addition to the artistic aspect, the Beautiful Bottle media also contributed to developing children's cognitive, social, motor, and language aspects. Children appeared more active, creative, and able to collaborate in simple musical activities. Thus, the use of the Beautiful Bottle media has proven effective as an innovation in art learning for early childhood, and can be used as an alternative for teachers in creating a fun and meaningful learning atmosphere.
