Sand Tray
Therapy
Sand tray and sand play therapies are becoming increasingly popular. Their use
is encouraged by availability of training and demonstrated efficacy. Many who
work with children consider these to be therapies of choice. Other clients who
experiences difficulty with verbal expression also benefit from these
techniques.
Some therapists have relied
upon friends to build sand trays. Others have reverted to ”Rubbermaid”
containers or industrial vats.
Aspen Sand Trays
are constructed of wood, an aesthetically pleasing, warm, natural material.
As a non-industrial, non-consumer product, a wooden sand tray lacks association
with storage containers, cat boxes, and chemical trays.
Aspen
Sand Trays are designed specifically for therapists and sand tray work.
The design is based upon the Jungian standard, sand tray literature, and
preferences of users. Aesthetics, craftsmanship, and affordability continue to
drive the construction process. Users have inspired all the NEW items
incorporated into the product line.
Sand
Trays
Aspen Sand trays are constructed of wood. The corners
of the trays are mitered, splined and glued. They
are strong and durable. Blue tray bottoms on wet
trays are sealed in several coats of epoxy and are
water resistant. A durable polyurethane finish is
applied to outside surfaces. Dimensions approximate the
Jungian standard, while still allowing for shipping.
Components are designed as a system allowing flexibility
of configuration and usage. Tops are suggested
when limiting access to a tray is needed. They are made
of 1/2" birch plywood. Stands are appropriate
in most applications because they make handling, moving
and presenting trays easier. The stands are available
with locking furniture rollers which allow easy movement
of heavy sand filled trays. They are available in two
heights, one for sitting and one for standing. Shipped
stands require some assembly, with instructions provided.
Shelves are specifically designed to maximize the display of miniatures.
Each unit has 5 shelves. Because of their size, they fit in even the smallest
office and can be configured in a number of different ways. They hold hundreds
of miniatures at a child's eye level. The "Refrigerator" is
our largest set of shelves. It has been constructed to meet therapists
specific requirements. Because of its size, it is currently limited to
local delivery.
Round
Trays are available in individual and group sizes.
Individual trays measure 29 inches in diameter. You won't
be able to keep clients out of them. There is also a stand
specifically designed for the round tray. The 4 foot round
group tray is popular in schools. It is available with
fixed or rolling stands. Because of its size and weight
it is limited to local delivery.
