This study was motivated by the low level of fine motor skills among Group A children at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 1 Banjarmasin and the need for concrete, active learning activities that directly involve children. This study aims to describe teacher activities, children's activities, and the development of fine motor skills through a combination of the Project-Based Learning model, demonstration method, and playdough media. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted over four meetings involving 12 Group A children at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 1 Banjarmasin. Data were collected through observation and documentation and subsequently analyzed descriptively based on the scores and percentages obtained at each meeting. The findings revealed improvements in all three observed aspects. Teacher activity increased from 61% to 89%, children's activity increased from 17% to 100%, and children's fine motor development increased from 17% to 100%. At the end of the intervention, teacher activity reached the Very Good category, children's activity reached the All Children Active category, and fine motor development reached the Very Well Developed category. These findings indicate that the combination of Project-Based Learning, the demonstration method, and playdough media can serve as an alternative learning activity to support children's engagement and fine motor development in Group A.
