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 in some way. 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. Please note that we do collect a small percentage of qualified purchases from this link, through our Association with Amazon.com.

We can offer our quality sand trays for $180.00 plus shipping. Shipping and handling cost $50.00. For those who live in the central part of the United States, the total cost cost of a natural sand tray without a lid is $230.00. Most professionals want a lid for their sand tray. We can build you one for $30.00 with an additional $5.00 for shipping and handling. Thus for shipping and handling of a sand tray with a lid, the total cost is $265.00. to get the sand tray made from Maple, just add $20.00. The lid will not be made of Maple, but we try to match the color the best we can. Please check our pictue to see if you think it matches well. If you have any questions about the pricing, please feel free to send us an E-mail.

Please also 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.
