Namun dalam artikel ini peneliti hanya menyajikan hasil penelitian pada tahap 1 yaitu tahap analisis dan eksplorasi. Subjek penelitian ini yaitu guru dan anak kelompok B di SPS TAAM Nurul Amin. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dan wawancara. Hasil dari penelitian pada tahap 1 yaitu perkembangan sosial emosional sangat penting dalam proses belajar anak sehingga perlu adanya pengembangan program aktivitas pembelajaran untuk memfasilitasinya. Sementara itu, ditemukan bahwa pengembangan program pembelajaran melalui aktivitas seni rupa di sekolah masih kurang beragam, finger painting jarang dilaksanakan karena keterbatasan media dan ketidaksiapan guru, dan aktivitas finger painting dengan metode kelompok juga belum pernah dilaksanakan di sekolah. Berdasarkan deskripsi analisis kebutuhan ini, peneliti mengembangkan rancangan aktivitas finger painting dengan metode kelompok untuk memfasilitasi perkembangan sosial emosional anak usia dini.
