Summary/Abstract: If the first former comes to school and he is not ready for it, sometimes it is difficult to overcome the educational programme later, he lags behind, he has got a lot of gaps in his education. The aim of the research was to investigate connection of children who are 7 years old their constructive intelligence, the development of fine motor and maturity for school and to determine if the constructive intelligence, the development of fine motor and maturity for school depend on to sex, the content of nursery school education, parents' intelligence. The research was made using "coloured progressive matrices" by raven, "visual motor bender-gestalt test" and methods of controlled drawing observation by t. Krogh. We have chosen 5 nursery school which are working according to different educational content in Лaunas. There methodics were adapted to 100 of children. Each children was testing individuality. The research revealed that the development of fine motor is good for their age. The sixth year children collect on average 17,65 right answers from "coloured progressive matrices" by raven. Boys as well as girls fulfil best "coloured progressive matrices" by raven, the tasks of part "a" which require ability to complete continuous picture. The task "b" is the most difficult for children to solve, where have to state the likeness of patterns. These data coincide with data publicated by g. Gintiliene and d. Butkiene (2005) in lithuania. Correlation between "coloured progressive matrices" by raven and visual motor bender-gestalt methodics is r = 0,555, according to statistics is important (p < 0,001). The preparation of children attending nursery schools is good (34 %), very good (26 %) and brilliant (23 %), however the preparation of 4 % seven-year-old children is low. According to statistics, correlation between the maturity for school and the development of fine motor and constructive intelligence is important (r = 0,414, r = 0,450; p < 0,001). These results coincide with data of foreign authors and that correlation between motor and cognitive achievements, further they are varying very much (r = 0,00; r = 0,60) The research revealed that constructive intelligence, the development of fine motor and maturity for school of seven-year-old children do not depend on to their sex or the educational content of the nursery school. The constructive intelligence and maturity for school depend on mother's or father's education. The higher education of parents make great influence on higher constructive intelligence and maturity for school of their children. However the education does not have any influence to the development of fine motor.
