 Description: Play therapy tools are special toys with which children play out themes in the various stages of the play therapy process. It is well known in the play therapy world, that play is the child’s language and toys are the words. Toys should be carefully selected and not just collected, as suggested by Dr. Garry Landreth, an expert in the field of play therapy. This 2-hour workshop will discuss basic toys for the playroom, as well as useful information in maintaining a functional playroom for play therapy.   Additionally, emphasis will be placed on the presenter’s favorite toys/items.  Examples of how these toys/items are used and metaphors that have emerged will be shared and discussed. *Snacks will be provided*
