Kitty Sensory Bin | Feed Kitty Rhyming Colors Numbers | SLP SPED Autism OT

These Kitty Sensory Bin Activities, "Feed Kitty," are a hands-on, engaging addition to any pets or kitty themed unit. Students "feed Kitty" mice to target colors, sizes, numbers, rhyming words, beginning/middle/ending sounds, and language concepts (feature, function, class). The open-ended format makes this resource flexible for small group instruction, independent centers, or sensory bin play.
