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

These Puppy Sensory Bin Activities, "Feed Puppy," are a hands-on, engaging addition to any pets or puppy themed unit. Students "feed Puppy" bones 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.

🐶 Perfect for:

• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting rhyming, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and language concept goals
• Special Education teachers building pets, puppy, and animal themed units
• Autism classrooms needing engaging, repeatable sensory activities
• Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills and sensory integration
• ABA therapists running receptive language and discrete trial programs
• Early Childhood, Pre-K, and Kindergarten teachers
• ELL/ESL teachers building English vocabulary
• Homeschool families with multi-age learners

🦴 What's Included:

Two complete Feed Puppy sets with puppy, bone pieces, and instruction cards:

• Colors, Sizes, and Numbers Set — feed Puppy bones by color, size, or number
• Rhyming Words Set — feed Puppy bones that rhyme, share beginning/middle/ending sounds, or match language concepts (feature, function, class)
• Instruction cards for each set to use as an independent center or sensory bin task

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Rhyming words and phonological awareness, beginning/middle/ending sounds, color identification, size discrimination, number recognition and counting, language concepts (feature, function, class), receptive and expressive vocabulary, following 1-step and multi-step directions, pet and dog vocabulary, fine motor skills, and independent work.

Sample Prompts:

• "Feed Puppy 1 red bone."
• "Feed Puppy 2 pink bones."
• "Feed Puppy a large green bone."
• "Feed Puppy a large purple bone and a small orange bone."
• "Feed Puppy something that rhymes with 'fun.'"
• "Feed Puppy something that starts with the /s/ sound."
• "Feed Puppy something that has the /u/ sound in the middle."
• "Feed Puppy something that ends with the /n/ sound."
• "Feed Puppy something with fur."
• "Feed Puppy an animal."
• "Feed Puppy something in the sky."

How to Use:

For small group instruction, the teacher or therapist gives a verbal prompt and the student feeds Puppy the correct bone. For independent work, place all the bones in a sensory bin (brown rice, shredded paper, tan beans, kinetic sand, fake grass) and post one or more instruction cards for students to complete on their own.

🐾 Ways to Use:

• Pets, puppy, dog, and animal thematic units
• Speech therapy small group sessions
• Sensory bin centers and morning tubs
• Independent work systems (TEACCH)
• ABA discrete trial training
• Literacy centers targeting phonological awareness
• Multi-sensory phonics instruction
• Calm-down and sensory regulation activities

⭐ Why This Stands Out:

The Feed Puppy format combines two highly engaging elements — sensory bin play and a playful "feeding" mechanic — that pull in even the most reluctant learners. The puppy/pet theme has universal kid appeal and works year-round (not tied to a season), giving this listing consistent monthly sales potential. The open-ended design lets you target a wide range of IEP goals with a single resource, and the included instruction cards make this one of the few sensory bin activities that truly works as an independent center.
