Bivariate analysis using the normality test using Shapiro Wilk with the results of 0,000 <0.05 means that the data is not normally distributed, after that to test the hypothesis using Willcoxon with a P value of 0,000 <0.05, it means that Ha is accepted. Knowing fine motor development of the respondents 50% of respondents fall into the category of undeveloped with a mean value of 1.87 and a standard deviation of 0.937. Knowing fine motor development of 50% of respondents included in the category of developing according to expectations with a mean value of 2.90 and a standard deviation of 0.712.
