The objective of this project is to determine the level of fine motor development in children aged 1 to 5 years, at the San Isidro Labrador School of Basic Education (Picaihua), to identify criteria that allow the development of the sensory box. Methodology: The research is descriptive, quantitative and prospective, the Denver II Test was applied to know the development level of the children, allowing the characterization of the population, the SPSS software (Statistical Package Social Sciences) is used for the statistical data collected. Results: 48.3% represent men and 51.7% women, in terms of fine motor development 27.6% normal, doubtful (58.6%) and abnormal (13.8%). In conclusion: By determining the level of fine motor development in children from 1 to 5 years of age, it was possible to establish and identify the criteria for the elaboration of the sensory box according to the needs and abilities of boys and girls.
