Play Therapy Resources

As a qualified Play and Creative Arts Therapist, researcher and author, Play to Z Ltd founder Sue Gascoyne uses a number of these resources in her play therapy sessions with children and young people. Whether you're looking to provide therapeutic messy play opportunities using Gelly Play or to offer cornflour, dried rice and other messy play staples with our exciting range of quality utensils and tools, or even are inspired to find out more about the power of materials as a communication tool and window into a child's world through Sue's book Messy Play in the Early Years (don't be misled by the title as this supports therapeutic work with children and young people across the ages), we're here to support your therapeutic material engagements with clients.

Sue also knows the value of using carefully selected quality puppets, musical instruments, soft cushions and mats, stories and containers for transitions, endings and nurturing art and crafts within client's sessions Creative media such as these, help children and young people express and manage their difficult feelings and overcome their personal, social and emotional difficulties.
