Fine motor skills support child development and learning readiness. This study aimed to determine efforts to improve children’s fine motor skills through finger painting activities at Muslimat NU 08 Tanjungori Playgroup. This Classroom Action Research employed the Kemmis and McTaggart model across pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II, with planning, action, observation, and reflection in each cycle. The subjects were 16 children aged 3–4 years. Data were collected through observation and documentation and analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. The results showed that in Cycle I, 10 children (62.5%) were categorized as BB, while 6 children (37.5%) reached BSH. In Cycle II, BB decreased to 7 children (43.75%), while 3 children (18.75%) reached MB and 6 children (37.5%) remained in BSH. No children reached BSB. Although the 80% success criterion was not achieved, finger painting supported fine motor development through finger movements, eye-hand coordination, and movement control.
