This study aims to improve the fine motor skills of children aged 3–4 years through finger painting activities at POS PAUD PKK Matahari. Fine motor skills are an essential aspect of early childhood development that requires optimal stimulation during the Golden Age. The study employed descriptive qualitative Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles involving 10 children. Each cycle consisted of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, documentation, interviews, and developmental assessments. The pre-cycle results showed that children’s fine motor development was not optimal, with learning achievement reaching only 32.5%, partly due to conventional learning methods. After implementing finger painting activities, achievement increased to 70% in Cycle I, although it had not yet met the success criterion. In Cycle II, achievement increased to 80%, meeting the minimum success indicator. Therefore, finger painting activities can effectively improve the fine motor skills of children aged 3–4 years.
