This is a manual for training teachers in the Sandtray Play in
Education method. It introduces a holistic approach to childhood
education that returns the child's natural medium of creative play
to the learning environment. Sadly, most approaches to contemporary
childhood education are not successful in teaching children the
riches of language and numbers and the capacities to think, inquire
and create. We are failing our children by not designing
educational curricula that is appropriate to the learning styles of
children. Sandtray Play in Education is the culmination of the
collaboration of learning specialist Kristín Unnsteinsdóttir and
Barbara Turner, Sandplay psychotherapist, who have worked together
to develop a tool that draws on the child`s inner world to support
and inform his or her learning and growth in the school setting.
Together they have created a way that a well-trained counsellor or
learning specialist in Sandtray Play in Education can work
individually with a small group of students, side-by-side, each
giving birth to the fruits of imagination and creative play as the
fashion their own “worlds” in the trays. Using the same
miniature figures and tray of sand used in the Jungian Sandplay
method, Sandtray Play is not a psychotherapeutic modality, rather
it is a creative play tool adapted to provide school children with
an engrossing, self-directed, imaginative activity.
