Description

The Sand Painting Flowerpot Kit is a creative and sensory art therapy resource that gives children an opportunity to explore colour, texture, creativity and self-expression while creating their own unique decorative flowerpot.

The process of working with coloured sand, paint and decorative elements provides a hands-on creative experience that can be incorporated into play therapy, therapeutic art activities, child counselling and sensory-based activities.

For therapists, the activity can be used as more than simply a craft. The creative process can open opportunities to explore self-expression, decision-making, patience, concentration, confidence, individuality and emotional themes. Children can choose their colours and design, experiment with different textures and create something that reflects their own ideas and preferences.

The completed flowerpot also provides a tangible reminder of the child’s creative process and can be incorporated into therapeutic conversations around growth, nurturing, change, identity and caring for something over time.

A lovely addition to a play therapy room, child psychologist’s practice, counselling room, art therapy space, sensory room or classroom, particularly for children who enjoy hands-on creative activities.
