Spot, Mix, and Describe! is an engaging, multisensory activity that builds visual-motor, fine motor, and language skills. Students start by spotting differences between images, then create their own snack mix to practice coordination and sensory exploration. Guided reflection encourages self-expression and critical thinking.
Perfect for school-based occupational therapy, this activity supports engagement, independence, and skill-building in a fun, inclusive way.
