Product Review

Love this product, it’s like getting 3 products in one. The trays are removable, so you can use them separately,. The tray is deep and a good size. The lid has a lip so you can use it as a sepetate play tray. What’s really good is that the lid fits firmly into the tray without falling out, making it portable to take on an outing with you. Well worth the money 💰

Perfect for tiny hands!

I ordered these for my niece and they are the perfect size for tiny hands. I also have the tuff tray and love just how versatile all my purchases from inspire my play so far have been!

Fabulous, fabulous play tray.

What a brilliant piece of kit! Great idea too to provide an ebook of ideas. I have been so excited thinking of more ways to fill it, which follow the interests of my grandchildren. Incidentally, even though it doesn’t necessarily need a stand I have found that my Rebok step with several stackers provides a perfect stand and both girls can access from either side.
I am looking forward to buying some of the accessories to go with it. Thank you!

Wish I’d got it sooner

I love our play tray and really wish I’d invested in it sooner. The fact it has a lid to shut it all away until the next play session is brilliant, especially if little one hasn’t quite finished playing with it and wants to explore some more. It also extends the play onto different spaces and the compartments are really handy to be able to contain the loose parts or create mini play spaces for small world play or to mix up messy sensory play and get stuck in. It’s easy to clean, with a quality finish that is durable for little hands and slip free. I basically love it. It’s an investment piece for sure but given all the invitations to play I’ve set up and had to clear up this has been marvellous and worth the money because it has encouraged her to play within the tray which makes the clear up so much easier. I also love the little booklet with ideas which have definitely inspired our play. And it can also double up as an actual tray set or snack dishes or for my own crafts for when little one grows out of it so it has a lifespan beyond just a kid’s play tray.

Play tray all day!

I had been seeing the play tray all over social media for sensory play!

My three year old loves it, and I love it!

Super easy clean up, perfect size and shape!

I love that it has a lid and many containers inside thst I can remove and clean/pour or separate easily!

I have used it for COUNTLESS activities since we got it a few weeks ago, and I have tons more ideas!

Worth every penny and so wonderful!

(The only disappointed I had was that it shipped via Amazon and I was hopeful by using a small business zero money would go to Amazon) other wise top notch!
