OT at home helps

[Dobela]

I apologize is some of these are not new to you. I have been looking for ways to do more OT at home with both of my kids and have found these websites. I hope they will help some of you as well. I am not listing them here, but there are also many OT activities on youtube as well.

 

http://www.otplan.com/ Has 3 sections to search - skill, materials, plans. Each section has many ideas for that skill, or for materials you may have available, or for other premade plans that OTs have shared.
