play therapy toys

Play therapy toys are specially selected objects used by therapists to help children express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences in a natural and engaging way. These toys—such as puppets, dolls, action figures, art supplies, and miniature houses—enable children to communicate indirectly and safely, especially when words are difficult. By playing with these tools, children can explore emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills. The use of play therapy toys creates a supportive environment that encourages self-expression and understanding, making therapy more effective and comfortable for young clients.
