Play Therapy Activities by Melissa Lavigne gives so much insight into the thought process and feelings of toddlers and young children. I really appreciated the activities to try at home and gave us something different to do through all this difficult pandemic parenting.

Thank you to #netgalley for the early read.

Loved this insightful and helpful book! Especially during Covid times. I really feel it is important to check in with your child and see how they are handling all these changes and this book does an excellent job of using Play Therapy techniques to do so. I really appreciated them reinforcing the fact that "play" and "play therapy" are two different things and both should be practiced while doing the activities in this book.
Chapter 9 was probably my favorite because it was very reflective and I found a lot of these activities could be used with the elderly (I work with the elderly and loved a lot of these activities).
I would definitely recommend this book for parents/teachers/grandparents/aunts and uncles/etc.

I liked this book and will be taking some of the ideas from it for sure. My children love to play and sometimes I feel like I run out of ideas for them to do so this is a great book to incorporate more play into children's lives.
