POV: You love doing online art therapy workshops so much, you can’t wait to post about it. I’m very grateful to have held space for the SOAR group this morning. It’s an honour to hear stories and be a small part of a healing journey. Things needed: cozy spot, Jodi the cat assistant, bug shirt, chai, water in a confetti cup, art supplies!

Where are my art therapists and all-knowing magical art therapy followers at?
You know that feeling when you can’t stop reflecting on every little visual?
That moment when you realize the box lid wasn’t missing—it was being used for something else.
I just didn’t know I had the ability to contain things.
Now I do.
The lid wasn’t gone—it just had another purpose.
Thinking of my box lid “gone missing,” but really it was holding other things and I can contain. 🌀📦✨

About 3 or 4 years ago I wrote and designed (with help from ) this alphabet book art therapy book — to remind kids (and adults) that art isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about expressing, releasing, exploring, and feeling.
It’s called, a is for art therapy, and it’s finally available as a digital download on Teachers Pay Teachers!

Each letter pairs with a creative prompt that invites messiness, movement, emotion, and zero pressure.
I made this book for ages 3–11, but honestly, anyone who needs a gentle creative nudge might love it too.

I’ve been dreaming of printing it as a real book — and I still plan to! But for now, I’m offering it as a downloadable PDF for teachers, therapists, and families who want to start using it right away.

Check it out on TPT under Bloom Art Therapy-Amy Van Dongen. Link in bio.

Now on Teachers Pay Teachers!
As a Registered Art Therapist, I’ve often noticed the lack of accessible resources that truly reflect therapeutic principles in creative education. So—I decided to create them myself.

I’m excited to launch my TpT store, where you’ll find art therapy-informed tools designed to support emotional expression, social awareness, and creativity in the classroom and beyond.

They’re grounded in years of clinical and classroom experience, and thoughtfully aligned with curriculum goals (SD23).

First up:
Two fun emotional wellness resources to get to know yourself better.
Check out the store + follow along!
