Great product; endless ideas for exploration

I splurged and bought the authentic Playtray for a sensory bin experience I saw on Pinterest ("What the Worm Saw"). The creator of this particular "filler" is in the UK, so I was able to purchase most of the items and substitute others. I wanted this for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. Her brothers loved helping their little sister. Being a former secondary science teacher, I loved the worm and nature elements I used to accompany the book about worms. The divider trays allowed for a variety of fillers (rice, pasta, wood shapes, plastic worms, bird stones, etc.) The sturdy tong set replaced a set of wooden tongs that were pulled apart! So thankful for the snug fitting lid/tray which allows for easy storage. Can't wait to start the next tray.

Thank you so much for detailed review. We love that you are so looking forward to using your PlayTRAY again :)

Inspire My Play Tongs

My grandaughter originally had a fairly inflexible brittle plastic pair of tongs and became so frustrated with the lack of 'grip' or movement she disengaged with the activity altogether. Now, with the Inspire My Play tongs she can complete little tasks like picking up objects with the tongs and moving them, placing them into bowls, cups, water, sand and is keen to try lots of other ideas, with confidence.

Hello and thank you for sharing your experience with our Tong Set! We are thrilled to hear that your granddaughter is now enjoying playing and completing her tasks the way she want's to - this is exactly why we choose the materials that we do! We hope she continues to explore and have fun! Happy playing!

Pretty small but thats great for tiny hands. Great material. I love that they have tiny bumps on the outer sides to help with grip so they don't get slippery!

Perfect for little hands!

These tings are just the right size for little hands. They are easy to squeeze together and made of high quality materials. I especially appreciate they are non-toxic so I don’t have to think twice about allowing my child to play with them regularly.

Thank you for your kind review of your new Tong Set! We're thrilled to hear that the materials we have selected are giving you peace of mind - this is one of our reasons for choosing them! I hope you continue to enjoy them!

Incredible find

I have been on the hunt for a messy tray like this for years and finally found this brand on a instagram ad. After reading reviews on their website I decided to pick up the tray along with some scoops and tweezers, my boys are obsessed. They have paid with it none stop for two weeks and it have been a life saver through half term. I love how versatile the tray and dividers are, such a great price and will be used for years to come!

Hello and thank you so much for your wonderful review! We love to hear that the tray is being put to lots of good use and it sounds like your boys are finding lots of ways to play with it. I hope they continue to enjoy it for many years to come!

Finally a functional tong set

I am always searching for tools to use for kiddos as an OT. I love that these tongs are the first set I’ve found that are easy to grip, easy to clean, and functional for little ones of all ages to squeeze and manipulate.

A parent just the other day shared that these were amazing! Their child loved them and they were best set they’ve invested in because of how well they work functionally.

So, they definitely exceed expectations and work better than others on the market. Highly recommend!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Ashley, we really appreciate it! And thank you so much for your wonderful words! It means a lot that you would recommend us. We hope you continue to find our products a useful tool in the wonderful work you do :)
