Often, children with developmental setbacks or sensory processing difficulties will not talk about their feelings, but generally choose to play them out. Sand therapy is a form of expressive interaction that enables someone to build their emotional struggles using small-scale toys and colored sand. After the sand scene is constructed, it offers the chance to work out conflicts, eliminate barriers, and achieve improved self-acceptance. Sand therapy introduces a path to understand children more thoroughly. If a child had hundreds of characters to choose from and only selected fifteen, it indicates those specific selections have significant meaning to the child.
