Hi, everyone! I am please to announce that PAAPT has it's very own email address, which is paapt4play@gmail.com. Please use that address to connect with us!

Tammi Van Hollander will be one of the presenters at our annual conference that will be held in May. She has a great blog on Facebook listed as Tammi's Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy Page, on which she shares a lot of great resources, including the link listed below. I am so excited that she will be sharing her knowledge with us!

My colleague and I have been discussing this question for several months now. We have several figures in different multicultural versions along with multiple accessories for our main dollhouse.

Inevitably, the kids use all their time to stick EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FURNITURE AND FIGURE in the dollhouse and hardly ever have time to use the dollhouse and figures to act out anything. Since this seems to be a pattern, does any one have any thoughts?

Some of the kids have asked me to take a picture of the dollhouse as set up for the next time they come in, but none of them have returned to the dollhouse to date.

Thanks for any insight(s)!

Hello,
This is Jennifer Bailey the creator of the Theraplush toy line. I wanted to thank everyone for such a nice experience at the conference this year. I learned so much and was endlessly inspired by each presentation I went to. I will be designing some new characters for the line and I will update everyone when they are available. Thanks again for your inspiration and support! I look forward to next year.

I have attached a link to the Theraplush website here for those of you who were unable to attend.
