Natural Sand Tray

We sell high quality Natural Wood sand trays, unstained Maple sand trays, and Jungian sand trays at a reasonable price. These wooden sand trays are made to last. High quality paint and clear polyurethane ensures that the sand will not easily wear out the wood's protection. The measurements are 19 inches by 28 inches. They are three and three/fourths inches deep. While some therapists use any container for a sand box or sand tray, try the extra advantage of a professionally built sand tray. All of our sand trays will hold water.

For those unfamiliar with sand trays, we will attempt to provide a brief description. Simply described, a sand tray is a small sand box designed for indoor use. Sand trays are used in working with children and sometimes adults. Participants may have a variety of diagnoses, but sand tray therapy is probably most often used with children who have been traumatized. They are also used as an adjunct to other techniques.

For sand tray therapy, additional equipment includes a wide variety of toys, and high quality sand. Some therapists use wet sand, but high quality dry sand is also effective. Carl Jung theorized that the moisture in the sand, the colors of the box, and the wide variety of toys, help the child go into a slight trance to tap the child's unconscious processes. Most therapists use sand tray therapy to assess the child's current dilemmas and help the child resolve them. Sand tray techniques are thoroughly described in Images of the Self: The Sandplay Therapy Process by Estelle L. Weinrib.

We can offer our quality sand trays for $135.00 plus shipping. Shipping and handling cost $20.00. The total cost cost of a natural sand tray without a lid is $155.00. Most professionals want a lid for their sand tray. We can build you one for $20.00 with an additional $5.00 for shipping and handling.

Please note that sand is not included. If you can not find quality sand in your area, we can obtain sand for you. However, due to the costs of shipping, it would be less expensive for you to purchase sand in your area. It is very important that you purchase a fine grade sand often sold at hardware outlets as "playsand". Gritty sand or sand of inferior quality can be distracting to the child.
