The closing of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected preschool children, since they were the most vulnerable because they depended on an adult to guide them in their academic activities; therefore, their normal school development was interrupted. The objective of this study is to explain the limitations of psychomotor skills in the preschool stage during COVID-19. Using the descriptive method of bibliographic review, the consultation of the academic literature provided as results coincidences in two topics: psychological and parental difficulties to help them in the development of their psychomotor activities. It was concluded that there were limitations to develop psychomotor skills; however, teachers adapted to the new normality and found in the game a way to motivate them.

Keywords : COVID-19; Preschool education; Psychomotor skills.
