Jennifer Frede: Child & Adolescent Therapist

The Peacock figure has been a beautiful addition to our play space. A symbol of healing. Male peacock with tail feathers out on display. A strong call in the wild. I remember the joy of finding a long tail feather when I was a small child. I kept it for many years as a prized procession and a memory of a great day.

There is a new peacock on the shelf and it made it into some play this week. .shop Accessibility: a variety of animals in a wooden tray with sand. Panda,

Playing around with some tiny figures and the new Wiltopia Playmobil Panda. The children are drawn to the ducks, chickens and eggs at the moment. Easter in the shops triggers thoughts and preferences to particular figures during play.

A new Collecta Mammoth added to our collection in the Sandplay Therapy space. The brand doesn’t matter to the kids but I like how sturdy the figure is and the facial expression. Mammoth: big, bold, old. Who will be the first child to use this figure?

A new order from MiniZoo has arrived and is ready to unpack for the shelves .shop

The busy fairies of tales. Without them would there be a story? Image:four fairy godmother figures from the Disney animation movies standing on a shelf. The Fairy Godmother. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.

One of the puppets waiting for fun. Up on the shelf. Up out of reach. How can you stretch? How can you climb? How can you get to the puppet you want in the play space? Can you ask if you’re quiet? Can you scream if you’re loud? Will the puppet just know and climb down?
