FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zahm's classroom raised $175

My Project

I like to use toys/play therapy in small group counseling, one on one counseling, and in classroom guidance lessons. These materials would be used by over 200 students more than once.

Children love and respond well to play therapy; it is much better than the old fashioned talk therapy.

Sometimes it is as simple as handing a child one toy to take them feel comfortable to talk about the hard things in life. Children will also use play to act out hard things they have been through in life. This mirror, fidgets, and feeling chart will all help grow my use of play therapy with children.
