This study aims to describe the use of playdough educational play equipment (EAE) to stimulate fine motor development in early childhood at Melati Indah Preschool. The research focuses on how teachers utilize playdough in learning activities and the results of children's fine motor development after participating in these activities. The method used was qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of one teacher and ten children from Group A (aged 4-5 years). The results showed that playdough was used as a flexible, fun medium that stimulated fine motor skills such as rolling, picking, pressing, and shaping. These skills are an important foundation for various children's learning activities, including pre-writing readiness. Teachers played an active role in designing activities and providing playdough tools and materials. This play not only supported fine motor development but also fostered children's creativity and self-confidence. Challenges encountered, such as limited materials and children's unruly behavior, were overcome with a persuasive approach and a variety of media. Overall, the use of playdough APE had a positive impact on stimulating fine motor development in early childhood
