Some other ideas:

Using letter and number circle cutouts in occupational therapy (OT) can be a versatile and engaging way to address various therapeutic goals and objectives across different domains. Here are several ways these resources can be utilized:

1. Fine Motor Skills Development:
   • Manipulating small objects like letter and number circle cutouts can help improve fine motor skills such as precision grip, finger dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. Activities may include picking up, placing, and arranging the cutouts on a surface.
2. Visual Perception and Discrimination:
