Try the Paper Sand Tray Set
Are you looking for an affordable way to start sand tray therapy? Or a way for clients to try sand tray at home, or even via telehealth? This paper miniature set is a great way to begin, or add to, your collection. It includes more than 100 miniature items!
How does it work?
Print and cut the miniatures out of paper, assemble them easily with a piece of clear tape, and use them in your sand tray collection! They are standable on their own, on a table, floor, or can be secured in a standard or mini sand tray.
Multiple Uses
The miniatures can be used in many ways, including:
- A sand tray or sand play set
- A home/telehealth project that you can e-mail/share with clients
- As miniature puppets
- For role play
- For trauma narratives
- With kids, teens, or adults
- During sessions or as homework assignments
Use with multiple clients or make individual sets
If you're working with clients at home, or want to keep separate sand kits for hygiene or other reasons, this is a great way to do it. The paper minis can stand up next to your regular miniatures, or be kept separately. Use a small plastic box or ziplock bag to keep sets for individual clients.
Save $$ and time!
Sand tray sets can get pricey, even if you buy miniatures inividually. This way you can get dozens of pieces and options all at once.
Download unique items
It's often difficult to get diverse miniatures that represent different religions, identities, clothing styles, genders, identities and more. Affirming items can also be harder to come by. Our set gives you a diverse place to start, with multiple types of families, backgrounds, orientations, and more.
Reuse or reprint
The miniatures will last longer than might think, and can be reprinted whenever needed. Clients can also help with the process, cutting them out and assembling them with a piece of tape.
Use with many types of "sand"
When setting up individual mini trays, or trying sand tray via telehealth, you might get creative with sand setups. A simple $1 flat pan or plastic food container can serve as your tray, and table salt or sugar make great white sand.
Flexible setups can make it possible to use sand tray in more ways than a traditional box tray in a therapist's office. Use them for traveling therapy, home visits, telehealth (with a bit of prep), in classrooms, hospitals, in a traditional office and just about any other setting you can think of.
How does it work with telehealth?
For telehealth sessions, email/share the PDF with your client ahead of time or at an earlier session. They (or a parent/adult) can print and assemble the items during a session or as homework.
The PDF with this product has step-by-step instructions on setting up an individual/home sand tray. During online sessions, clients can hold up their trays, tilt their screen, or take pictures to show you their works in progress or completed worlds. Or, assign sand trays as homework and discuss pictures of trays during sessions.
Telehealth also has the advantage of adding home toys and minis - if appropriate clients can add their own figurines, toys, or ideas to their personal tray.
