🌿 The Magic of Play Therapy
At Golden Hour Counseling, we believe in the power of play therapy to help children and families grow, express emotions, and strengthen connections. Creative play—like building fairy houses—encourages problem-solving, emotional expression, and a sense of wonder. This workshop is more than just crafting; it’s an opportunity for families to bond, nurture creativity, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of hands-on art and storytelling.
Gather your sticks, stones, feathers, and a sprinkle of fairy dust, and get ready for an enchanting adventure! By the end of the workshop, your fairy house will be ready to take home and place in a special spot, just waiting for fairies to move in.
🎨 Spaces are limited—sign up now and let the fairy magic begin! ✨
