Abstract: Graphoplastic techniques are essential in the development of pre-writing in children 4 to 5 years old, offering a playful and creative way to learn motor skills that are fundamental for future writing. These techniques involve a variety of activities, such as drawing, painting, modeling with plasticine and the use of recycled materials, allowing children to explore different textures and shapes. Through these activities, children not only have fun, but also work on their fine motor coordination, which is crucial for handling writing tools such as pencils and scissors. In addition, these techniques stimulate visual perception and the ability to concentrate, skills that are reflected in the learning of writing and reading. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to verify the effectiveness of graphoplastic techniques in strengthening pre-writing skills in 4-year-old children through the elaboration of an activity guide for teachers. On the other hand, interaction with peers during these activities fosters social skills, such as teamwork and empathy. Graphoplastic techniques are not only educational tools, but also cultivate a love of art and self-expression from an early age. This holistic approach helps lay the foundation for future academic learning, making the transition to formal writing more fluid and natural.
