Abstract

Fine motor development in early childhood is essential for supporting hand–eye coordination, independence, and learning readiness. According to UNICEF 2020, 5– 25% of children worldwide experience fine motor developmental delays, while in Indonesia, approximately 16% of children face brain and nerve disorders that contribute to such delays. Bengkulu Province contributes 8.3% of national fine motor delay cases. Grain mosaic media provides a low-cost, engaging, and effective alternative to stimulate fine motor development through activities that enhance grip strength, accuracy, and focus. This study aimed to analyze the effect of grain mosaic media on fine motor development among 5-year-old children at TK Shandy Putra Telkom, Bengkulu City. This quantitative study applied a pre- experimental one group pretest–posttest design with total sampling. Thirty children aged five years were included. Fine motor development was assessed using the Kuesioner Pra-Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP) and observational checklists. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The average fine motor score increased from 7.50 (pre-test) to 9.00 (post-test), with a mean difference of 1.50. The Wilcoxon test revealed a significance value of p = 0.000 (<0.05), confirming that grain mosaic media had a significant effect on fine motor development. Grain mosaic media effectively improves children’s fine motor skills, particularly in hand–eye coordination, grip strength, accuracy, and concentration. Teachers and parents are encouraged to apply this media as an enjoyable and accessible stimulation tool both at school and at home.
