Description
Spring speech activities. Looking for an object function card activity? This makes it easy to work on spring-themed vocabulary and makes an engaging speech therapy activity to use in the spring!
These cards make it easy and engaging to work on expressively identifying object functions and receptively identifying object functions.
This product was designed as a sensory bin activity but can also be used as cards with any game.
✅ WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Vocabulary and object function development
- 18 bees/frogs to expressively tell object function
- 12 cards to receptively identify object function
Directions
Cut closely around the bees, frogs, & cards. Laminate if desired for durability. Hide them in the sensory bin – I like to place the heads of the bees and frogs so they are visible while burying the receptive cards. Have the child select a bee or a frog and ask them:
“What is ____ for?” or have them find a receptive card and answer the question.
The receptive cards are great for non-verbal kids or those first being introduced to object function.
What are sensory bins?
Sensory bins are a tactile experience in containers usually filled with beans, rice, noodles, beads, corn, or sand. In addition to putting in these cards, you may put in any toys in which you can discuss the object function of (e.g. mini toy shovel, glasses) or toys that are a motivator. For example, pick a card & state the object function, then find a dinosaur hiding in the rice!

Sensory bin created for Spring to use at the clinic and even used during group activities!
Jessica L. –
I put these in a Spring sensory bin and paired it with a spring themed book. My kids loved the sensory bin but I’m not sure the cards make a difference. This only targets one goal and I’m not sure it’s worth it due to not a lot of cards coming with it. Nothing wrong with it, I just think $2 can add up and I would rather buy her language scenes as they come with multiple activities.
