This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and impact of threading play on developing fine motor skills of children aged 4-5 years at TK Permata Hijau Menggala in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques included passive participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with the classroom teacher and the principal, and documentation. The study was conducted from May 26 to June 11, 2026. The research subjects were group A children (aged 4-5 years), focusing on several children who experienced fine motor delays. The results showed that: (1) Threading play is effective in improving children's fine motor skills, indicated by positive changes in how they hold tools (from palmar grasp to pincer grasp), improved eye-hand coordination, increased persistence and independence, and significant progress in children who initially experienced delays. (2) Positive impacts of threading play include improved cognitive abilities (color discrimination, pattern following, counting), improved social-emotional aspects (patience, concentration, self-confidence, cooperation, emotion regulation), and increased child independence. Supporting factors include school support, availability of materials, teacher creativity, and children's enthusiasm. Inhibiting factors (initial technical difficulties, children's frustration, time constraints, lack of teacher training) can be overcome through individual guidance and media variation.References
