OUR TRAINING
The big tree therapeutic dolls: New stories and characters

Introduction

Following on from our Big Tree therapeutic dolls workshop, you will be introduced to an expansion of the Big Tree doll range. This will involve a range of stories and additional resources. 
 
Percy the Bee and Molly the Snail are two new textually lush, functionally rich toys who offer the chance to explore common themes children engage with in their recovery from trauma. 
 
Along with getting to know the new arrivals, this workshop introduces you to a set of eighteen beautifully illustrated stories woven around the varied themes of each of the six dolls. The use of stories is intimately tied to therapeutic work and offers children opportunities to visit other worlds and try on new ideas as they heal. After attending the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to purchase additional dolls included in this workshop. 
 
A Molly Snail therapeutic doll is included, along with 18 therapeutically orientated e-stories, in your purchase of the workshop. 
 
All trainees must first complete the Big tree therapeutic dolls for trauma responsive practice with children course before moving onto the Big Tree therapeutic dolls: New stories and characters course. Please contact us if you have any queries about this.
