Sand tray built for telehealth
Manipulate sand, add toys, tell stories, and build a world with your client in this classic play therapy activity. No downloads, no extra equipment: just a shared browser tab.

Push and smooth the sand to draw shapes, paths, hills and hollows.
Uncover water
Dig down to the blue beneath the sand to make rivers, lakes and oceans.
A shelf full of toys
Choose from colorful miniatures, from people and animals to ships, plants and rainbows.
Tell the story
Place and move toys as your client builds their world and the story they want to tell.
Built exclusively for online sessions

Move from the sand tray to EMDR, parts-mapping or a collaborative drawing, all in one session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Your first 7 days are free, with every tool in the kit, including the sand tray. After that, TherapyKit is $20 per counselor per month.
Does my client need to download anything?
No. TherapyKit runs in the browser. You share a link and your client opens it.
Do I need a separate video platform?
Keep using the telehealth video tool you already use. TherapyKit handles the shared therapeutic tools, including the sand tray.
Can my client move the toys too?
Yes. The sand tray is synced live, so you and your client can shape the sand and place toys together and see each other's changes as they happen.
Is it a good fit for children and teens?
Yes. TherapyKit is designed with children's and adolescents' counseling in mind, and the sand tray is simple enough for young clients to explore on their own.
