This study addresses the limited fine motor skills of kindergarten children, particularly in cutting along patterns and accurately attaching materials, alongside insufficiently varied learning activities. It aims to describe teacher and children's activities and examine improvements in children's fine motor development through nature-based Eco-Art projects integrating Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and demonstration methods. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles comprising four meetings involving 11 children (6 boys and 5 girls) in Group B at Madinaturramlah Islamic Kindergarten, Banjarmasin. Data were collected through observation and documentation and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings revealed progressive improvements in teacher activities (96%), children's participation (92%), and fine motor development, which achieved the "Very Well Developed" category. These findings indicate that integrating nature-based Eco-Art projects with PjBL and demonstration methods can support children's fine motor development, particularly their cutting and pasting skills, while encouraging active participation in meaningful learning experiences.
