Mengasah Kemampuan Motorik Halus dan Fokus Anak melalui Kreasi Manik-Manik sebagai Media Stimulasi Kreatif

Abstract

This study aims to improve children's fine motor skills, focus, and creativity in late childhood (late childhood). This training was conducted at SDN Pojoksari and SD IT Ar-Rohmah. This bead stringing training uses a project-based learning (PBL) approach. Children aged six to twelve years experience increasingly mature fine motor development, but still face difficulties in hand-eye coordination. Through bead stringing activities, children are involved in planning, making, and evaluating accessory works. The results of the training showed an increase in children's fine motor skills, focus, creativity, and self-confidence, although some challenges such as difficulty in tying strings and arranging patterns still exist. In addition, children also showed an increase in social skills, such as public speaking and cooperation. This activity has a positive impact on children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. More intensive training and more varied learning methods need to be implemented to support optimal child growth and development.
