The development of technology has revolutionized the world of education. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the media that is starting to be developed for the learning process. AR has become a potential tool to improve the learning process among children. This study aims to systematically review previous research related to the application of AR to develop students' gross motor skills in early childhood education. The data collection process was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method which was adapted in this study. Identification results from five databases (SCOPUS, Pubmed, OpenAlex, Google Scholar, and Crossref) obtained 2807 publication documents. Bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1938 eligible articles, and 10 articles were selected as a literature review. The results of the bibliometric analysis showed less significant results on AR research in developing early childhood motor skills. However, overall AR research in early childhood education has experienced significant development. More attention and focus is needed regarding the development of early childhood motor skills research through the integration of AR technology. Thus, AR research in early childhood education is not limited to cognitive, but also focuses on motor skills as well.
