Fine motor development is an important aspect that needs to be stimulated from an early age because it is closely related to children’s readiness for writing, drawing, and performing daily activities. However, many young children still experience delays in fine motor development. This study aimed to examine the implementation of the finger painting technique as an effort to stimulate fine motor skills in children aged 4–5 years at TK/PAUD Al-Mukhtar Kembang Kerang. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted through the pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II stages. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 16 children from group A, consisting of 6 boys and 10 girls. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and field notes based on six indicators of fine motor skills. The results showed that the percentage of children in the Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) categories increased from 31.25% in the pre-cycle to 56.25% in Cycle I and 87.50% in Cycle II. In Cycle II, finger flexibility and the ability to make dots and lines reached the highest percentage of 93.75%. These results exceeded the success target of 75%, indicating that gradual finger painting activities were effective in developing fine motor skills in children aged 4–5 years.
