Wanted to love it!

I really wanted to love everything about this order. We got the play tray, blocks, bricks and the activity cards. Some of the activity cards had great ideas, but many were activities that are very generic (tracing in salt, rice, soapy water). I was really hoping these would be more creative as we had done many of the activities before.
Also the texture of the bricks and blocks isn’t ideal for playing with sand (kinetic or regular) as it sticks to them and in order to get them clean you lose a bunch of sand in the process.
The tray seems great, the nonstick pads will be helpful. However I’m not sure I would justify the price for what it is.
Overall good quality products, but I don’t feel they are worth the money and a lot of this could be done with similar items.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The variety of activities in our cards is intentionally planned to cater to different preferences and ages. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely take it into consideration for future improvements :-) Thank you for your valuable comments and we hope you continue to enjoy your PlayTRAY!

Exceptional!

I didn’t expect this to be as fabulous as it is! Not only are the cards themselves extremely durable, of high quality, clear, colourful and bright, but it was even packaged amazingly. You have a lovely container to keep these inside and they’re double sided

Personally, though things are available online, I honestly don’t care to be online and keep reverting back online, and actually found my toddler can interact and be a part of setting up or at least holding and feeling the cards and verbalising what she wants to play (and thus I can set up for her).

The front of the cards show the set up, and the back have easy 3-step instructions: 1) supplies, 2) how to prepare 3) ways to play, whilst concisely explaining the age range and skills that will be obtained/practised.

Absolutely marvellous product and the quality is fabulous! So many ideas as well!!! Thank you IMP!!!

I only bought the accessories, but I’m so impressed I’m going to buy the tray and inserts too!

Hello Syed Shah,
Thank you so much for you lovely review! We are so so pleased to hear you are so impressed with your purchases. A lot of time and thought has gone into the design on the cards, so we are really happy you think they are great quality. Thank you again for your kind words!

Brilliant!

We love our PlayTray and accessories! We are using them every day and find the activity pack great for suggestions. Our daughter loves messy play and we use black tuff trays a lot, but the white colour of this tray and separate compartments really helps different colours and textures to stand out. I've wanted to buy one for so long and I am really glad we finally did! We also purchased a range of accessories and I'm really impressed. I haven't seen the silicone bricks elsewhere for example, and the tongs and mini scoops are just right for little hands and feel really well-made. Thank you for making such brilliant products!

Hello, thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We are thrilled to hear that you and your daughter are enjoying so many different activities together and that the PlayTRAY is contributing to your enjoyment. It's wonderful to know that our products have become a part of your summer holiday routine. Thank you for going to the trouble of writing this review, it means an awful lot to us and we hope your fun activities continue for a long time into the future☺️

Play cards are one of the four products we’ve purchased and they did not disappoint. So many fun activities to choose from. We’ve been having a blast and love how durable they are so I can go through them with my toddler. :)

Every single one of these ideas is on Instagram, Pinterest and other social media platforms. I still enjoy having the physical cards so my child can look through ideas themself, but I wish the ideas were more original and exclusive to those who buy the product.
