Perkembangan motorik halus tidak dapat berkembang secara optimal tanpa adanya stimulasi yang diberikan secara berkesinambungan melalui kegiatan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan karakteristik anak usia dini. Salah satu media yang dapat digunakan untuk menstimulasi perkembangan motorik halus adalah plastisin. Plastisin merupakan media bermain yang mudah dibentuk sehingga memungkinkan anak melakukan aktivitas meremas, menggulung, mencubit, memipihkan, dan membentuk berbagai objek sesuai kreativitasnya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui penerapan metode bermain plastisin pada anak usia dini, perkembangan motorik halus anak usia dini, dan pengaruh metode bermain plastisin terhadap perkembangan motorik halus anak usia dini di Kelompok B TK Usthaka Ria. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui survey kuesioner, wawancara, serta dokumentasi. Analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis inferensial. Hasil analisis menunjukan metode bermain plastisin memberikan perubahan positif terhadap perkembangan motorik halus anak Kelompok B TK Usthaka Ria. Hal ini terlihat dari meningkatnya persentase anak pada kategori BSB dan BSH serta menurunnya persentase anak pada kategori MB dan BB. Perkembangan tersebut terlihat pada tiga aspek yang diamati, yaitu kemampuan meremas plastisin, kemampuan membentuk plastisin, dan kemampuan koordinasi mata dan tangan.
