FirstPlay® Kinesthetic Storytelling®, also known as “BACK Stories” (stories that can be told on a child’s back) is designed for children ages pre-school to six years. I will use the FirstPlay®Parent Instructional Guide© to teach, direct and supervise parents & caretakers how to draw and tell The Magic Rainbow Hug© and other stories on their children’s backs.

This play therapy model enhances parent and child bonding and attachment through the avenue of respectful and caring touch. In FirstPlay® sessions I will demonstrate the storytelling movements on a back of a large stuffed animal (for example) while the parents/ caregiver simultaneously practice the techniques on their children’s back.
