Minature Metaphors, Tools for Bringing Metaphors to Life

Reflection and Processing Treasure Chest

A Tool for Teachers, Group Facilitators, Counselors, and Trainers

Miniature Metaphor Toolkit: 30 high-quality figural charms (most locally sourced and made of lead-free pewter) in a sturdy decorative tin, plus suggestions for use.

Jen Stanchfield, author of Inspired Educator created this teaching, group facilitation and reflection tool in 2002 after a facilitator in one of her conference workshops shared that they were looking for a “pocket sized” debriefing or reflection tool that would be easy to carry into the field. Over the past decade Miniature Metaphors have become a favourite of teachers, counsellors, challenge course practitioners, corporate trainers, camp leaders, therapeutic recreation specialists and outdoor educators on the go.
