This study examines the effect of nutritional status on the gross and fine motor skills development in early childhood. The data were selected randomly using simple random sampling at the Posyandu in East Praya sub-district, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The samples were collected 127 children aged 24 to 36 months and their parents as respondents. The regression results showed that nutritional status had positive and significant effect on gross and fine motor skills development of children (adjusted R2 41.8%). The relationship nutritional status with gross and fine motor skills has the correlation value, 0.650 and moderate relationship level. Increasing the nutritional status greatly helps develop gross and fine motor skills development in children during their golden age.

Fine motor skills are key in preschool education. These skills refer to those that require the movement of little muscles in hands, such as picking up pieces with tweezers or handwriting. Recent evidence has shown that those children with an appropriate fine motor skills development in the early childhood are expected to obtain a better academic achievement during the first years of primary education than those with delays or impairments in their fine motor skills. Thus, this chapter provides with an overview of the literature on this area, based on the most recent reviews, with a special focus on the graphomotor skills (i.e., handwriting) in the association between fine motor skills and academic achievement. Furthermore, the latest proposals aimed to improve fine motor skills and graphomotor skills are reviewed and assessed according to certain aspects which are considered relevant in the literature. Some guidelines for practitioners may be extracted.

Abstract: The background of this study is the low motor skills of early childhood in group A in the Natural Kindergarten Rizkia. This can be seen from the weakness of fine motor in moving the fingers of the hands, coordinate the eyes and hands, and the accuracy of flexibility of the child's fingers. The purpose of this study is to improve fine motor skills through papercraft play activities. The method used in this research is classroom action research method using Kemmis and Taggart cycle model through four stages namely planning, implementation, observation, and reflection which is done by two cycles. The subjects of the study were 16 students of class A. Data collection is done by observation, documentation, and interview. The results of the study conducted during two cycles observed the development of fine motor skills of group A children experienced an increase in each cycle. Pre-action (pre cycling) was 34%, in cycle I was 60.6% with 26.6% increase and in second cycle was 83.82% with an increase of 23.22%. Thus the percentage improvement of fine motor ability of group A children through papercraft activity has achieved success indicator that is more than 75%. This means that papercraft play activities are very effective and can be used in improving the fine motor skills of children group A.

Fine motor skills are very important skills that needed in child development and it require training and skills to be developed. However, there are only few of fine motor skills development  which  based  on  culture  and  uses  traditional  activities  to  be  the  tool  to improve the child’s fine motor skills. In Balinese culture, one of activities which can be used to develop fine motor skill is ngulat tipat taluh. Based on this problem, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of ngulat tipat taluh to fine motor skills in children aged 6-7 years.   This study used an experimental method with one-group pre-test post-test design with 49 people as subject. Data in this study was collected by measuring fine motor skills variable in pre-test and post-test. The measurement is using mazes that consist of 8 items, and after the validity and reliability test each items was valid with rix in range 0.298 to 0.712 and alpha cronbach reliability coefficient (?) is 0.812. Based on the results of the statistical paired T-test, the value of significance (2-tailed) 0.00 ? 0.025 (? = 0.025) and the t value in this study was 6.603 greater than t table (1.677). Based on statistical analysis, it can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) can be accepted and there was significant influence ngulat tipat taluh to fine motor skills in 6-7 years old children.   Keywords: Ngulat tipat taluh, fine motor skills, children aged 6-7 years.
