  • Literature Review: Sand Play Therapy

    750 Words  | 3 Pages

    1.0 LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 Sand Play According to Burgess (2015), sand play therapy has been defined as a psychotherapeutic method that enables consumers to organize small figures in a sandbox or sand tray to create a ‘sand world’ compared to numerous extensions of his/her social reality. Vygotsky and his followers have argued, therefore, that children learn most effectively through social interaction, when they are involved in jointly constructing new understandings within their ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development). The use of sand in children’s programs has a long history, starting with a series of sand gardens developed in Berlin in the 1880s. These play areas, consisting of piles of sand encased in wooden borders, inspired the construction of America’s first supervised playgrounds: ten sand gardens in poor areas of Boston in 1887 (Frost 2010)
