Curious Box Play Therapy

I popped into the shops today and somehow walked out with seven little Stitch miniatures… and honestly, each one feels like an end-of-term mood in play therapy 💙✨

In our playroom, characters like Stitch remind me how kids show up with big feelings, messy moments, silly energy, curiosity, and so much heart. And just like these tiny Stitches, we hold space for all the different parts of them — the tired part, the excited part, the overwhelmed part, the growing-braver-every-day part.

As the term wraps up, I’m feeling a bit like a whole collection of Stitches too — grateful, goofy, exhausted, tender, and full of love for the kids and families I get to support through play.

Here’s to embracing all our “many Stitches” as we slide into the end of term.

Play makes room for every version of us 💙🌺🧸

🎄✨ Curious Box Christmas Magic! ✨🎄
Today, we celebrated our very first Curious Box staff Christmas party — and what a beautiful, joy-filled afternoon it was!

The team spent time together creating gorgeous Christmas wreaths, playing with flowers, and soaking up the festive spirit. 🌿🎀❤️

I’m feeling so grateful for this amazing team — for their passion, their hearts, and the way they show up every single day for the children and families we support.

2026 is going to be such an exciting year as our team grows, and our services expand to reach even more little humans who need a safe, playful, healing space. 🌈✨

Here’s to connection, creativity, and a bright year ahead.

Merry Christmas from the Curious Box family! 🎁💛
