The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of playdough games and puzzles on fine motor skills and logical-mathematical intelligence in early childhood. The specimen in this study were children of Tunas Melati Kindergarten in Sleman regency 50 children were used for this experiment. The data was analysed using a two -way ANOVA with significance level of 5%. The results showed that (1) there was a significant effect of the playdough games and puzzles on fine motor skills with P < 0.05, (2) there was a significant effect of playdough and puzzles on logical-mathematical intelligence with P < 0.05, and (3) playdough had more influence on fine motor skills while puzzles had more influence on logical-mathematical intelligence with P < 0.05. it was concluded that playdough and puzzles both influenced the improvement of fine motor skills and logical-mathematical intelligence but playdough had a greater influence on fine motor skills while puzzles had a greater influence on logical-mathematical intelligence.
