Description

The Tile Art Fridge Magnet Set is a versatile creative activity that can be used in play therapy, therapeutic art, child counselling, classrooms, group work and creative activities at home.

With 10 individual tiles to decorate, this set offers plenty of opportunity for children to express themselves through colour, pattern and design. Children can follow the suggested pictures or create their own artwork, making each tile uniquely their own.

For therapists, the tiles can be used in a variety of ways. A child can create a single tile during an individual therapy session, several tiles can be used to explore a theme or story, or the set can be divided between children during group therapy or social-emotional learning activities. The open-ended nature of the activity allows the therapist to follow the child’s interests and use the creative process as a starting point for conversation and reflection.

Painting and decorating the tiles also encourages fine-motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, planning, decision-making and creative problem-solving. For children who find direct verbal communication difficult, art can provide another way to communicate ideas, preferences and experiences.

Once completed, the tiles become colourful fridge magnets that children can take home, providing a tangible reminder of something they have created themselves and supporting a sense of achievement, confidence and self-expression.

A wonderful addition to a play therapy room, child psychologist’s practice, occupational therapy setting, counselling room, classroom or art therapy space.
