As parents and caregivers, it's important to provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child to play and learn in. The PlayTRAY is a great tool for encouraging creativity and exploration, but it's important to keep safety in mind. These guidelines are designed to help you ensure that your child is playing safely with the PlayTRAY, and that the contents of the tray are age-appropriate and suitable for your child. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your child is having fun while staying safe.

Always supervise your child while they are playing with the PlayTRAY. This will help ensure that they are safe and not putting anything in their mouth that they shouldn't be.

Check for any allergies your child may have before placing any contents in the PlayTRAY. Some children may be allergic to certain materials or substances, so it's important to know what to avoid.
Do not use sharp objects in the tray. These can be dangerous for children and can cause injury.
If your child is mouthing items, ensure that they are not a choking hazard. Any items that can fit through a toilet roll tube should be avoided.
Do not leave your child unattended by water. Water play is fun, but it can also be dangerous.
Clean the PlayTRAY and its contents regularly, to avoid the growth of bacteria, mold or other harmful microorganisms.
Avoid using any toxic materials, paints, dyes or other chemicals in the PlayTRAY.
Keep in mind that children develop at different rates and it is important to adjust the contents of the PlayTRAY accordingly.
Be mindful of the temperature of the contents in the PlayTRAY, especially if your child is likely to put the contents in their mouths.

You Won’t Be Disappointed - Buy One Now!

It’s a perfect size, and everything looks good in white! It’s replacing my square tuff tray which is always too big to fill. I love that it has a lid - because I can prepare whatever media for sensory learning in it, or as an invitation to play; and not reveal it until I’m ready for the lesson. Additionally, I can use the lid as a surface on which to transport accessories to go with it if I’m taking it outside. Only wish I’d had it sooner :)

Hello, thank you for your wonderful review and beautiful pictures! We are so happy to hear that the PlayTRAY has exceeded your expectations and is making your sensory learning activities more convenient. We love the idea of keeping surprises hidden for a big class reveal! Thank you again for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy using it. Best wishes, Louise

Fantastic

I purchased this for my daughter’s first bday and she loves it! It’s a great size and the fact it has a lid is fab! We have tried a few activities using the cards and we’ve had tons of fun!

Hello again! Thank you for this review and for sending the lovely photo's! It's great to know that the PlayTRAY is doing it's job well and we're thrilled to see your fun activities! Thank you for your support and happy playing!

Perfect

Love the size and endless possibilities!

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the PlayTRAY and finding so many ways to play! I hope you continue to do so for many years to come!

Encourage Messy Play!

I have been scrolling the internet to find something adventurous and educational for my toddler to explore inside our home whilst I work from home, as she only goes to nursery once a week. I came across this amazing idea for bringing on toddler brain development and endless amounts of fun! We only received this yesterday (impressed, as it came next day). I set this not so messy tray up last night, suitable for carpet use today and my 14 month old is living her best life! She is so curious and inquisitive. Dying rice is super easy, as well as some DIY cutting and sticking which takes minutes! I super recommend this, along with all of the inspirational ideas you can explore on the website/activity cards and the ebook. If you have any queries, Louise is so lovely and helpful. Thank you again, we are very grateful you’ve fulfilled our expectations and I’m really impressed and so is my daughter!

Hi there! We are so happy to hear that your little one is enjoying our PlayTRAY! Our passion is in creating products that encourage and promote open ended sensory play and it is wonderful to know that we have met your expectations :-) Thank you so much for choosing our product and for your lovely feedback. Happy playing!

Brilliant play tray

Even after only a couple of weeks, this is more used and enjoyed than many of my 2.5 yo son's Christmas presents! Even my 5 month old baby loves to sit with him and put her hands in whatever we're doing. My son really engages with sensory play (and basically loves to make a huge mess) so having a dedicated and somewhat controlled outlet for that is fantastic. Also really pleased at how well it cleans up even when using a lot of food colouring.
Overall a really versatile toy and one I can see us enjoying as a family for many years to come.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your son and baby girl are both enjoying The PlayTRAY. We designed it for longevity and to stand up well against all messy play so I'm really pleased to hear how much use you are getting out of it already and that you are finding it cleans up well! Thank you for choosing The PlayTRAY for your young family!

Devastated is not the word

I was SO exited about this tray u can’t even tell you. First I got two trays and idea cards and then before my guts had even used the trays (it was for Xmas) I splurged and got all of the tools and idea cards. I am a bit of a clean freak but sensory play is so important so the idea of keeping it contained and being able to clean it easily after was enough to have me sold. I followed their insta page and have been doing several setups a week ranging from simple to quite the serious setups. I’ve loved it, the girls have loved it. Earlier today I didn’t have much time to I set up a set from their Instagram page which was just metallic paint mixed in water. My daughter played with it making up all sorts of scenarios for about 90 minutes. Once she was done I immediately cleared it away and to my horror the tay is completely stained. Bleach, cuff, all sorts of sprays and nothing will take it out. It was their own idea setup and my chairs or table were all easily cleaned (also white) but the trays won’t budge. They look awful and I’m so upset at the money spent on them for them to be unusable only a month into using them. I really can’t get over how devastated I am that this has happened.

Hi there,

Thank you for treaching out to us. I am so sorry to hear about your experience with the tray staining.

I can see from your lovely photo's and from your original 5* review how much you have all been enjoying the PlayTRAY up until that point and completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must be for you, especially after investing in the additional tools and idea cards, and I want to reassure you that your tray is not faulty.

The additives and materials used in the tray are tried and tested to handle messy play but it’s always possible that certain substances may cause some staining.

It is impossible to predict which products will cause a stain as there as are so many similar looking products available to buy, all with their own set of ingredients and even paints that claim to be washable can stain if not well diluted, we also can not predict how long a product might be left in the tray, but generally speaking, your tray has been carefully designed, heavily tested and proven to be able to withstand permanent stains from messy play.

While this is not a sign of a defect, we completely understand how frustrating it can be to be faced with a stain in your lovely white tray!

To help with cleaning stubborn stains, we recommend a good scrub using The Pink Stuff cleaning paste, we have incurred many stains over the years with our activities and so far it has never let us down!

I want to ensure that you and your daughters can continue to enjoy the tray without worry, so I have included this link to our FAQ’s section where you can find our full care instructions: https://inspiremyplay.com/pages/faqs

I really hope this helps! Please reach out to our customer service team via hello@inspiremyplay.com if you have any further quesitons and we will do our best to help you out.

Best wishes, Louise.

Love at First Use! Ideal for Little Ones’ Activities: Versatile, Portable and Easy to Clean

I recently purchased this PlayTRAY and couldn't be happier! I look after some wonderful little ones, and I needed something versatile for sensory and messy play that I could easily transport.

It comes with a large tray and a lid that doubles as a shallow tray, which is super convenient. The removable compartments make organizing different materials and activities a breeze, and it’s so easy to clean. Despite being spacious enough for various setups, it’s not overly bulky, making it ideal for moving between my different locations.

I've only used it twice so far, but I’m already in love. I can’t wait to set up more fun and creative activities for the kids. This tray is a must-have for anyone working with children or looking for a way to contain messy play in a manageable, portable way!

Thank you so much for your detailed review of our PlayTRAY :-) It's wonderful to hear that it has been a hit with the little ones you take care of - what lucky little people to have access to the resources in your pictures! We designed it with versatility and easy cleaning in mind, so we're delighted to know that it has met your expectations. We hope it continues to make your job easier and even more fun. Happy playing!

Love, love, love

Such a great resource to have.
Just love coming up with new idea for sensory play with my son and keeping the play to one area.

Hello Lynette, we really appreciate your review, thank you! What lovely words. We are so pleased to hear about all the fun you are having with your Son, and hope that you both continue to love your sensory play using your PlayTRAY :)

So much fun!

We have had such a lot of fun since buying the play tray. My daughter loves making dinosaur Zoo’s, playing with animals and choosing if they live on the land sea or snow. We’ve made swamps and oceans. With lots more to come.
It’s made me feel more creative too, and helps me think about topics to talk about while watching her play. It’s great quality, toddler proof and wipes down easily. I can recommend!

Wow thank you for such a lovely review Kate! Wonderful to hear that your daughter has really enjoyed using the playTRAY and that you are enjoying getting creative too! We love to hear that you would reccomend us too! Happy PlayTRAYing! :)

Beautifully Crafted

So well made and thoughtfully made! I can tell this will have longevity in our playtime. 💕

Hi Judy, thank you so much for your lovely review. We pride ourselves in the high quality of our products, so we are really pleased that you think this is well made! Thanks again and happy PlayTRAYing! :)

BlownAway

As a mum that loves gadgets and gizmos, I'm blown away with this sensory playTray. I had bought the silicone inserts on their own via amazon over 2 years ago, and I finally took the leap and bout the PlayTray. Now I was expecting something slightly bigger initially and it does seem expensive, but once you add in the 6 trays, silicone on the base of the tray on the back of the lid, on the seal of the lid, it has all the added "extras" making it in my own opinion worth every penny. It has given this mum who lack imagination a simple tool that's easy to make it up when you have this tray and the cards, I've even found it easier exploring my own ideas now with the easy base with these cards and separation tools like each segment. I DO NOT recommend pompoms and chia seed jelly (MY own failed concoction LOL). anyone who hasnt got much space, lacks imagination or just needs something to keep their little ones entertained I will without a doubt recommend the PLAYTRAY, Tray Inserts and PlayCards!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Fleur! And thank you for your very kind words. We LOVE that you would reccomend us, and we are so pleased that you feel that this tool has opened up sensory play for you. We have a feeling you had it in you all along! If you need any ideas or advice feel free to get in touch, or checkout the website :)

Love it!

I bought this for my daughter after trying a couple of DIY sensory tray options, which never quite worked. I finally decided to buy this tray and so glad we did. Super versatile and very well made. When my daughter gets up from her nap so goes straight to the tray to see “what’s inside today?!”. I also bought the cards, great ideas for getting started and will definitely buy the other accessories too.

Thank you for your review. What wonderful activities you are setting up already! If you need any inspiration feel free to check out our blog with lots of great ideas. Enjoy!

Absolutely brilliant

My grandson really loves this, so many uses and really sturdy

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! What a lovely picture! He looks very happy with his PlayTRAY! Thanks again:)

Excellent quality

Really lovely quality. It feels well made and built to last. I have used food colouring and it hasn’t stained the plastic. Lightweight and easy to make different set ups with the inserts.

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your review. We hope your PlayTRAY continues to give your little ones hours of fun!

Enjoyed by them, shared by you @inspiremyplay
