Traditional, non-directive play therapy instructs the play therapist to withhold from labeling objects in a play therapy room until the child labels the item. The reason for this is to allow the child free reign for their imagination, which can enhance the therapeutic process. Most play therapists will agree that not labeling items takes some practice, but pays off in the end. Here are some fun examples of what common play therapy toys can become in the play room 
These marbles have been bombs and precious stones.
This small Ikea ironing board has been a surf board and baby bed.
This oven has been a prison and a race track.
My sandbox has been everything from a war zone to a zoo to a place for quiet time.
My slinky has been trip wire and a jail for small dolls.
One of the virtues of being very young is that you don’t let the facts get in the way of your imagination.
