Fantasy and myth figures bring larger-than-life stories into the sand tray. Dragons, unicorns, wizards, aliens and magical objects give clients a way to express big feelings, private wishes and hidden fears without having to find the right words.
These sand tray miniatures are helpful for work around:
- Power, courage and vulnerability
- Good versus evil, justice and fairness
- Secrets, magic, wishes and dreams
- Identity, belonging and feeling different
- Nightmares, monsters and scary images
Use friendly creatures and fairies to represent support, protection, and hope. Fierce dragons, hydras, werewolves and other monsters can stand in for anger, danger, or parts of the self that feel out of control. Crowns, wands, castles and magical lamps can symbolize choice, power and transformation.
Fantasy pieces pair well with our animal, people and structures and houses categories to build complete worlds. Clients can place mythical figures beside everyday settings to show how imagination, trauma, culture or spirituality shape their stories.
Whether you are practicing play therapy, sand tray therapy, counseling or expressive arts, this collection offers a wide range of magical and mythical symbols to meet the needs of children, teens and adults.
