Pencil Erasers

Pencil Erasers – Sandtray Therapy Miniatures

These pencil erasers bring powerful, everyday symbolism into the sandtray. Positively, erasers can represent correction, forgiveness, second chances, and the ability to revise one’s story. They may symbolize learning from mistakes, flexibility, growth, and the hope that errors do not define the whole narrative.

On the more challenging side, erasers can reflect self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, or the desire to erase parts of oneself, one’s history, or difficult experiences. They may also symbolize fear of failure, pressure to “get it right,” or the belief that mistakes must be hidden rather than integrated.

Pencil erasers invite exploration of themes such as self-worth, accountability, resilience, boundaries, and the balance between learning from mistakes and accepting imperfection. They can be especially meaningful when working with clients around school experiences, trauma narratives, identity development, or personal growth.

A versatile miniature for sandtray work focused on revision, self-compassion, growth, and the courage to keep going—even when the path includes missteps.
