Go Slow.....
You will find play therapy healing tools in many places. There are online Play Therapy web sites and when the NAFTA rules changed in 2018 it became possible for Canadians to order products from the United States and not have to pay additional duty up to $125 of product. However, you can find what you need at value stores, garage sales and sometimes our children's toy boxes ( when they have outgrown their toys of course). Your Play Therapy workshops at MPTI will share specific examples of the types of healing tools can be used with various clients.
Remember to keep receipts!
