If you're a portable play therapist or you're in need of a way to organize small items in your play room this tip is for you.
Recently, while in the toiletries aisle of a big box store searching for some travel-sized items to take on an out of town trip to facilitate a play therapy workshop, I noticed these plastic soap holders. They were priced at an affordable ninety seven cents and since it's hard for me to resist a bargain I bought several of them knowing that once I got back to my play therapy office I'd be able to find all kinds of items to store inside of them.

Here are several items I had at my office that fit perfectly inside a soap box. A deck of cards, which I often use for mutual story telling, a deck of UNO cards which can be color-coded with feeling words, and a box of crayons.
WORD OF CAUTION! If you're a portable play therapist and you live in a region of the country that gets excessively hot DO NOT store crayons in your car. Melted wax is a mess you do not want inside your portable play kit.

Other items that fit nicely inside these soap holders are dice for games, and stones and miniature people for the sandtray or for story telling.
I also realized it would be a great way to store my training center business cards when I travel to facilitate workshops in other parts of the country.
Let's hear from you. What items would you store inside these soap holders? The ideas are endless!
