Implementation of Finger Painting Method to Train Fine Motor Skills in Early Childhood at Khansa Kindergarten

Abstract

We need to understand that children at an early age have difficulty carrying out activities in several areas, one of which is writing beautifully, which certainly uses their fingers. Children at this age have unplanned creativity, so the focus of this study is that many children under early age experience difficulty in writing beautifully. The purpose of this paper is to address the difficulties faced by children in carrying out activities that require the support of their fingers. This study uses a qualitative method. This method helps in assessing a work and carrying out activities that have been carried out by TK Khansa. In this paper, it was concluded that finger painting activities are very beneficial for expanding TK Khansa fine motor skills. This can also develop creativity in drawing using their own fingers and develop the strength of both gross and fine muscles that are always stimulated through scratches and pressure on flat media. During the learning process, finger painting allows children to use their fine motor skills in the way they want. As fine motor flexibility increases, children become more sensitive to what is being done. When children do fine writing activities, their writing becomes neater and fits the line limits specified by the good or fine writing book.
