Fine motor development is a movement that uses fine muscles or parts of certain limbs that are influenced by opportunities to learn and practice. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of folding paper and puzzle games on children's fine motor development. The study's research design was a pre-experimental type one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study were all children aged 4-5 years at PAUD Ceria Panji Lor Village in September 2023, as many as 28 people with the Total Sampling technique—data collection using DDST Denver II measurement.
