Sandstories handles the digital tray — these are for your in-person work. Affiliate links below; we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
A curated shop of pre-loved sandtray miniatures — sourced from estates, retiring practitioners, and educators who gave them a first life. Inspected, cleaned, and priced so that the cost of a collection is never the reason the work doesn’t happen.
I’m Cameron — I run the Sandstories Shop. My background is in sports operations and journalism, where I learned the same lesson in different uniforms: pay attention to the small things, care about the details, and tell the truth about what you’re seeing.
Every piece in the shop passes through my hands before it gets near yours. I find items through estate sales, donations from retiring practitioners, and educators downsizing their collections. I clean each figure, check for chips and cracks, photograph it, and pack every order myself.
If something isn’t good enough for a clinical space, it doesn’t make the cut. If you get a box from us, everything in it has been through that process.
A working sandtray collection can run hundreds to thousands of dollars new. For many clinicians, that’s frequently the difference between offering sandtray work and not offering it at all.
We believe every object — like every person — carries a story. By sourcing from practitioners and collectors who are ready to pass their pieces on, we keep quality tools in clinical hands at a fraction of the cost of new. The miniature that sat in a closet for five years may be exactly what your next client needs to tell their story.
The Sandstories Shop carries the full range of what sandtray work requires — not just what sells easily.
