The low fine motor skills in children is one of the main reasons for conducting this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the role of teachers in improving the fine motor skills of children aged 5–6 years through the use of collage media. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, involving one class teacher who taught children aged 5–6 years. The study was conducted at TK Negeri 13 Mesuji. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. All data were analyzed qualitatively with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicated that collage activities had been carried out well and contributed positively to improving the fine motor skills of children aged 5–6 years. However, there were still some children whose motor skills had not developed optimally. This finding is different from previous studies, which generally stated that collage media was significantly able to develop children's fine motor skills to the maximum. Therefore, it is recommended that the learning process be carried out more intensively to support the development of children's fine motor skills at the school.
