NEW CREATION FROM Clay it Forward Minis!!!!

This one comes with interchangeable parts to tell multiple stories. I really liked the heart piece as I feel like it was representing generational trauma. As the hearts get smaller, so do the amount of cracks.

Hope you enjoy!

🪨✨ Helplessness & Hope Well Set ✨🪨
This handcrafted miniature set tells a powerful story often seen in therapy: the journey from feeling trapped to finding hope.
One well depicts the experience of feeling stuck at the bottom—overwhelmed, helpless, unheard, or unable to see a way forward. The second miniature is a wishing well, symbolizing hope, dreams, healing, support, and the possibility of change.
Together, these pieces provide a meaningful visual metaphor for resilience, emotional growth, and the belief that difficult moments do not last forever.
Perfect for sand tray therapy, play therapy, counseling offices, school counseling programs, social-emotional learning activities, and personal reflection.

👀 “Everyone Is Watching Me” 👀

This handcrafted miniature represents the feeling of being watched, judged, criticized, or constantly evaluated by the world around you.

For some, it’s social anxiety. For others, it’s shame, paranoia, hypervigilance, trauma, or the fear that one wrong move will bring criticism or rejection.

The many eyes symbolize the pressure of feeling seen from every direction. The curled figure represents the emotional weight that can come from carrying those fears alone.

In sand tray therapy, this miniature can help explore:
🖤 Fear of judgment
🖤 Social anxiety
🖤 Hypervigilance
🖤 Shame and self-consciousness
🖤 Bullying experiences
🖤 Trauma responses
🖤 Feeling misunderstood or unsafe

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what others are actually thinking—it’s the feeling that everyone is watching.

💙 Designed to help tell the stories that are difficult to put into words

🏖️ What is Sand Tray Therapy?

One of the questions I get asked most is, “What exactly is sand tray therapy?”

Think of sand tray as a way to tell your story without needing all the words.

Using miniature figures, objects, and a tray of sand, children, teens, and adults can create scenes that represent their thoughts, feelings, experiences, relationships, worries, hopes, and dreams.

Sometimes emotions are difficult to explain. Sometimes we don’t even have words for what we’re feeling. Sand tray allows those experiences to be expressed visually and symbolically in a safe, creative way.

In sand tray, there is no right or wrong way to create. A volcano might represent anger. A bridge might represent a relationship. A tiny house might represent safety, belonging, or family. Each tray tells a unique story.

Sand tray can help with:
💙 Anxiety
💙 Trauma
💙 Grief & loss
💙 Divorce & family changes
💙 Emotional regulation
💙 Self-esteem
💙 Stress and overwhelm

Most importantly, sand tray helps people explore and process experiences in a way that feels safe, creative, and empowering.

Sometimes the things we cannot say out loud can be shown in the sand.

Meet your artists!!!

Elizabeth Campbell

Founder, Therapist & Creator

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, the founder of Clay It Forward and Play It Forward Counseling.

As a licensed therapist, I’ve spent years helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges through creativity, play, storytelling, and connection. Throughout my work, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful symbols can be in helping people express feelings that are difficult to put into words.

Clay It Forward was created from a passion for sand tray therapy and a desire to provide meaningful, therapist-designed miniatures that support healing, growth, self-expression, and emotional exploration. Every piece is thoughtfully handcrafted with the hope of helping someone tell their story, find their voice, and discover their own path toward healing.

When I’m not creating miniatures, you’ll find me supporting clients, spending time with family, and dreaming up new ways to help others grow through creativity and play.

Logan Campbell

Artist & Co-Creator

Hi! I’m Logan.

I help create miniatures for Clay It Forward and love coming up with new ideas for pieces that tell a story. I enjoy drawing, creating art, working with clay, and using my imagination to bring new designs to life.

Some of my favorite parts of Clay It Forward are brainstorming ideas, helping make miniatures, and seeing how tiny creations can have big meanings. I like thinking about different emotions, experiences, and stories that people might connect with when they use our miniatures.

As an artist, I believe creativity is a great way to express yourself and show who you are. I’m proud to be part of Clay It Forward and help create pieces that encourage healing, self-expression, and connection.

I hope our miniatures help people feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

🔥🌉 NEW MINIATURE ALERT: Burning Bridge 🌉🔥

Some bridges are crossed. Some are repaired. And sometimes, they are burned.

Our Burning Bridge miniature was thoughtfully designed to represent conflict, betrayal, broken trust, difficult choices, boundaries, endings, and life-changing transitions. While the image of a burning bridge can feel painful, it can also symbolize courage, self-protection, and choosing a new path forward.

This powerful symbolic piece helps clients explore relationships, losses, and moments when life changed in ways that could not be undone.

✨ Perfect for:
• Family conflict
• Divorce & separation
• Boundary work
• Relationship struggles
• Betrayal & trust issues
• Trauma recovery
• Life transitions
• Sand tray & play therapy

Helpful questions:
🔥 What caused the bridge to catch fire?
🔥 Was the bridge burned on purpose or by accident?
🔥 What was on the other side?
🔥 Is it time to rebuild—or move forward?
🔥 What new path might exist now?

Because sometimes healing means rebuilding a bridge… and sometimes it means choosing not to cross it again.

🧩🧠 NEW MINIATURE ALERT: Neurodivergent Mind 🧠🧩

Every mind works differently—and that difference matters.

Our Neurodivergent Mind miniature was thoughtfully designed to celebrate unique ways of thinking, processing, learning, and experiencing the world. This symbolic brain encourages conversations about neurodiversity, self-acceptance, sensory experiences, strengths, challenges, and the beauty of being uniquely you.

Whether used to represent autism, ADHD, sensory differences, giftedness, or simply feeling different from those around you, this miniature helps create space for understanding and self-expression.

✨ Perfect for:
• Autism support
• ADHD counseling
• Neurodiversity-affirming therapy
• Identity exploration
• Self-acceptance work
• Emotional expression
• Sand tray & play therapy

Helpful questions:
🧠 What makes your brain unique?
🧠 What are your strengths?
🧠 What do others sometimes misunderstand?
🧠 What helps your brain feel supported?
🧠 What makes you proud of who you are?

Because different doesn’t mean broken—it means beautifully unique.

🌋🔥 NEW MINIATURE ALERT: Emotional Volcano 🔥🌋

Sometimes big feelings build quietly beneath the surface… until they erupt.

Our Emotional Volcano miniature was thoughtfully designed to help children, teens, and adults explore anger, frustration, overwhelm, stress, and emotions that have been held in for too long.

This powerful symbol helps clients recognize that emotional explosions often start with smaller feelings that build over time. By identifying what is happening beneath the surface, we can learn healthier ways to express and manage big emotions before they erupt.

✨ Perfect for:
• Anger management
• Emotional regulation
• Frustration tolerance
• Trauma-informed therapy
• Stress & overwhelm
• Coping skills development
• Sand tray & play therapy

Helpful questions:
🌋 What is building inside the volcano?
🌋 What warning signs happen before it erupts?
🌋 What fuels the explosion?
🌋 What helps cool the volcano down?
🌋 What needs to be expressed before it overflows?

Because every eruption has a story—and every volcano deserves the chance to be understood.
