Abstract
This research aimed to 1) Develop the fine motor skills of preschool children through the use of a set of Nature-Based 3D Art activities, and 2) To compare the fine motor skills of preschool children before and after providing experiences with a set of Nature-Based 3D Art activities. The target group for this research consisted of male and female students aged 3-5 years, studying in Kindergarten Year 1, Semester 1, Academic Year 2025, at the Border Patrol Police School, Ban Khao Saraphi, totaling 8 students, selected through purposive sampling. The research tools used included. 1) A set of 18 Nature-Based 3D Art activities made from natural materials. 2) Fine motor skills assessment form. Data were analyzed using the mean, Standard deviation, and the dependent-samples t-test. Research results: 1) The fine motor skills of kindergarten 1 students before the creative art activities were at a moderate level. After participating in creative art activities, Kindergarten 1 students demonstrated the highest level of fine motor skills. 2) A comparison of the fine motor skills of preschool children showed that after receiving the Nature-Based 3D Art activity set made from natural materials, students' fine motor skills were significantly higher than before the experiment, at a statistical significance level of 05. This is consistent with the hypothesis. This demonstrates how innovative natural media, in the form of Nature-Based 3D Art, can effectively stimulate hand and finger muscle function.
