Art Therapy Self-care Kit

Life can be stressful. Self-care doesn't have to be.

In times of uncertainty and worry there's nothing more important than taking care of yourself and your loved ones. You might be worried about friends or whānau, or maybe it's just someone who you think could do with a little extra care.

Here at Creative Arts Therapy I’ve created a series of activities and exercises that you can do at home, and thanks to local New Zealand businesses, the tools of the trade. Creativity isn't bound to age or talent, and there isn't a right or wrong way to go about working through your box. Draw outside the lines. Paint the box. As soon as it's in your hands, the style is up to you.

This beautiful kit can be a thoughtful gift to yourself, a family member, a friend or someone who needs a bit of extra care.
