to 6 years old from Pusat Asuhan Tunas Islam as respondents for quantitative method and supported by
interviewing teachers as qualitative method. The samples consist of multi-touch and single touch gestures
groups, leading to a pre-test and a post-test of a Dot-to-dot activity after implementing the“ Mari Belajar

higher than the pre-test mean and single-touch gesture mean respectively. This shows that the multi-touch
hand gestures effects the fine motor skills development which is also supported by interview results. As for
