*O Necklaces
Have the children string Cheerios on yarn or string. Be sure you knot the one
end before they start stringing their necklace to prevent the O's from
falling off.

*O Button Pictures
Give each child a handful of buttons or O-shaped cereal to glue to a paper in
the shape of an O. Encourage the children to use their imaginations to create
a picture around the O, using the letter as part of the design. Example, the
outline of a face. 

*Duck, Duck, Goose
Sit in a circle (the letter O) and play the game of Duck, Duck, Goose. 

*Boiled Octopus
Take a hot dog and cut a + from each end towards the center. DO NOT cut
completely to the center. Place the cut hot dog into boiling water for a
minute or two and the ends will curl up and the hot dog will resemble an
Octopus.
