The room children use in sessions: everything at child height, every material with a purpose.
Every material has a job. Tap the dots on the photo; from the sand tray to the puppets, I explain why each one is there.Yes, there are toys. But there’s also a corner for teens: cushions, books, a sketchbook. Check the dots.
In the blue-bottomed tray sand becomes land and water; the scene a child builds becomes a map of their inner world. Digging, smoothing and shaping the sand also calms the body.Building a scene in sand is an easy way to show something hard to say.
People, animals, houses, trees, bridges, vehicles… The child builds their story with figures; scenes of family, school or fear are told through these small characters.There are hundreds of figures on the shelves; teens use them too.
Colour and line where words are not enough. Drawings show us the child’s mood and world that week; we look together rather than interpret.The sketchbook is yours; you don’t have to show anyone what you draw.
Build, knock down, build again. Blocks let us work on patience, planning and coping with frustration within play.
Saying something through a puppet is easier than saying it yourself. Puppets let us talk about fears, anger and difficult conversations from a safe distance.
With its rooms and little family, the dollhouse is the most natural way for a child to show routines at home, sibling relationships and daily life.
Young children find it hard to put feelings into sentences; in play they show them easily.
Giving something frightening to a figure or a puppet makes it easier to talk about.
Trying a new behaviour or a new solution in the room is safe; getting it wrong is allowed.
