Increase Ability Motorcycle Fine Through Kinetic Sand Play Activities

Abstract

This research aims to enhance the fine motor skills of children through the use of playing with sand as a learning medium. The development of fine motor skills plays a crucial role in the enhancement of hand skills, such as gripping, squeezing, picking up, folding, sticking, and cutting. This study employs a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The research subject is a 7-year-old child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The results of the research show that applying kinetic sand media to children who use the activities of squeezing, grasping, pressing and picking up sand without realizing it has an effect on fine motor skills and coordination between hands and eyes. This can be seen from the ability of children who previously could not raise their hands and also could not pick up sand using their own hands, now children can raise their hands and can pick up sand
themselves.
