One of my favourite playroom “toys” is FOAM! Messy play lets children create, change, squash, and even destroy and that can beautifully reflect how they are feeling inside. It gives them a safe, sensory way to express big emotions without needing words.

I didn’t have one favourite toy growing up, I preferred creating whole make-believe worlds. Sometimes with friends, inventing endless stories, or on my own teaching my toys or running a “shop” with my mum’s kitchen equipment.

My favourite toy in my Play Therapy kit is a small mouse that is on a wedge of cheese! It can be placed in the playroom door to slow down any potential intruders to our space! The children love and trust mousey, so do I.

My favourite childhood toy was the game ‘Guess Who’ because it meant fun calm one to one time with a parent or friend.

My favourite toy is slime. It has powerful therapeutic value. Its sensory nature helps children regulate, express emotions, and feel in control.

My favourite toy are squeeze toys. They offer a simple, non-verbal outlet for stress and big feelings and they can be surprisingly powerful.

Suspend by Melissa & Doug. This game is a brilliant mix of strategy and motor skills. Balance your rods on the stand and be the first to use them all, but if any fall, you have to take them back! It's a great way to explore persistence and managing setbacks.

My favourite toy was my Cindy Dolls as you could create a whole new world for them, dressing them up in their different outfits, creating personalities for them and play out new scenarios.

My favourite toy wasn’t a toy it was a football shirt specifically a George Best Man United shirt with the iconic number 7 on it. I wore it for days refusing to take it off and my Mum had to wash it when I was in bed and she had it ready for me the next day.

My favourite toy was the board game Stay Alive, it worked well for my logical brain and I enjoyed the exciting feeling of jeopardy that came with it! I have it in my tool-kit where it remains a favourite with lots of children!
