Fine motor skills are an essential aspect of early childhood development because they support children's readiness to perform various learning activities, such as writing, drawing, cutting, and other hand-eye coordination tasks. This study aimed to determine the effect of Hands-On Activity on the fine motor skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK Karya Perumnas. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants consisted of Group B children divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through observation using a fine motor skills assessment instrument and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicated that the average score of children's fine motor skills increased after the implementation of Hands-On Activity. The average pretest score increased from 9.21 to 11.07 in the posttest, with a normalized gain score of 0.2834. However, the Independent Sample t-test showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) greater than 0.05, indicating no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Nevertheless, Hands-On Activity provided meaningful learning experiences that encouraged children to actively manipulate learning materials, thereby supporting the development of hand-eye coordination, finger flexibility, and precision of movement. Therefore, Hands-On Activity can be considered an alternative learning strategy to stimulate fine motor development in early childhood.
