This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design involving samples of early childhood children at RA Darun Najah. The instruments used were observation and assessment of fine motor skills before and after participating in picture matching activities. The results showed that there was a significant effect of picture matching activities on improving children's fine motor skills, such as grasping skills, placing objects with precision, and hand-eye coordination. In addition, this activity also contributed to improving children's concentration, focus, and problem-solving abilities. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that picture matching activities are an effective method in supporting the development of fine motor skills in early childhood children at RA Darun Najah.
