Sandtray Source List: Get 1,000+ Sandtray Ideas WIthout Spending Hours on Amazon

4/3/2024

So I actually did spend hours on Amazon curating this list of my top fav miniatures for sandtray - all so you don’t have to! This is the best-of-the-best sandtray miniature list all with the clickable links! 
 
I made this list to reflect much of my own sandtray collection with the variety and diversity of objects and miniatures! This master list is the tried and true (and much loved) sandtray miniatures that get most used in my office - all in one place!
This list is an excellent place to start to assess how rounded out your collection is, what areas might be lacking, and where you may need more figures or representation! 
 
Now before you get scrolling (it’s a looooooong list) begin I wanted to give you a couple of hot tips: 
 
Always double check the size and measurements to make sure they will be right for your collection! 
 
Online shopping can be a little tricky and you want to make sure that what you think you are getting is what you actually are going to get! For some that have a smaller tray some miniatures may be too big and for others with a larger tray (based on your current collection) some may be too small.  Always double check before you buy! 
 
Buy with friends in mind. 
 
Sometimes when you purchase a package of something you end up getting 15 skulls, 10 treasure chests, or 50 mini babies.  If you have some fellow therapists also obsessed with sandtray you can coordinate purchasing and make sure everyone gets something! 
 
Prices are always changing!
 
And sometimes links re-direct to weird places.  One time on this blog a link that was supposed to go to big feeling monsters (that I did eons ago) got redirected to rat traps.  True story. The good thing about Amazon is if you keep checking back you can get some amazing deals!
