Abstract
This study aims to prove the influence of paint applications on children's fine motor skills through coloring activities. This study uses a quasi-experimental design quantitative research design with a pretest-posttest controlled group design model. Learning in the control group used a conventional model in the form of a picture book while the experimental group applied the paint application. The study was conducted at the Mentoring State Kindergarten with research subjects 30 children for the control group and 30 children for the experimental group. The results showed that the experimental class children using the paint application had a higher average compared to the control class that used the conventional model in the form of a picture book. The average number of the experimental class is 83.25, and the average number of the control class is 76. Based on the data analysis that has been done that t-test > t table, which is 2.161 > 2.07387. Thus it can be concluded that the application of paint affects the fine motor skills of early childhood.
