Well-made, helpful tool for a chaplain
As a chaplain in a senior living residence, I loved to use the original (smaller) version to get conversations going in a new group. I'd adjust the instructions, of course, depending on the setting. People found it a fun way to get to know each other.<br /><br />Now as a pediatric chaplain in a hospital setting, I'll introduce the larger one when it seems like a child could use some help making sense of what's happened to them. The stories they tell as we play help them frame a narrative in which their illness or injury can find a place in their life without taking over their whole identity.<br /><br />Just a note: the wood is unfinished, so if you're using it in a setting where infection control is important, you'll want to seal the surface so it's easier to clean between patients.
