30 Dec Therapeutic Play Activity: expressive art play
Therapeutic Play Activity: expressive art play, specifically using drawing to help children express emotions. This activity is often used with children who are experiencing stress, grief, trauma, or difficulty verbalizing their feelings.
In this activity, the child is given simple art materials such as, crayons, markers, or colored pencils and is encouraged to draw freely. The therapist may offer gentle prompts like “Draw how you’re feeling today” or “Draw something that makes you feel safe.” There is no focus on artistic skill; the emphasis is on expression rather than the final product.
Note: Students are asked to incorporate a theoretical perspective in the therapeutic play plan, directly related the age and developmental stage of the child that the activity is planned for.
