| dc.description.abstract | Lado Bala (Laydouh made from natural ingredients) is the development of play media using natural materials in agricultural areas. Playing is the main activity for children, one of which facilitates development. Fine motor development takes longer to achieve, so stimulation
is needed, one of which is playing. Playing is also part of the intervention for anxiety problems in children. The research aims to analyze
the development of Lado Bala play therapy (pLAyDough made from
natural ingredients) on fine motor development and anxiety levels in
children in agricultural areas. This research is a quasi-experiment
research with one group pretest-posttest design. Respondents were
78 preschool-age children using a purposive sampling technique. The
measuring tools used are the DDST sheet to assess development and
the Faces Image Scale (FIS) to assess anxiety. The newest thing in
this research is that the media used is the result of research development, namely playdough with natural ingredients, namely wheat flour,
salt, food colouring, and warm water by utilizing local resources and
wisdom in the agronursing area, namely using coconut oil which is
safe and beneficial for children's skin health. The data obtained were
analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test to determine the influence between variables. The analysis results obtained were p=0.001,
which stated that there was an influence of playdough development
on fine motor development and anxiety levels in children in the agricultural area. Playing Lado Bala facilitates children's development
through squeezing, shaping and increasing creativity in children, as
well as making children feel happy it can reduce anxiety in children.
