Fine motor skills are one aspect of development that needs to be stimulated in early childhood because it is related to eye-hand coordination, movement accuracy, and the ability to perform various activities independently. The results of initial observations on 19 children in Group A at Kindergarten X showed that five children were in the Not Yet Developing (BB) category and experienced difficulties in several fine motor activities. This activity aims to provide fine motor skill stimulation through playdough media to these five children. The activity uses a descriptive quantitative approach with an intervention design implemented in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings with a duration of 45 minutes. Data were collected through observation, interviews, interventions, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively by comparing conditions before and after the intervention. The results showed that all subjects experienced an increase in fine motor skill scores. ND increased from a score of 15 to 21, BI from 20 to 22, RN from 20 to 24, AY from 20 to 22, and ZO from 20 to 23. In terms of category, all subjects experienced a change from BB to Starting to Develop (MB). These results show that playdough can be an alternative play activity to provide fine motor skill stimulation for children who need further development.
