Deliveries outside of Europe & the US
International delivery prices vary depending on your country of residence and size of parcel. These prices are calculated at checkout. Unfortunately air freight is charged by its volumetric weight. This takes into account the size of the parcel and as the PlayTRAY is a bulky item it makes international deliveries costly. International orders are zero-rated- you pay no VAT. Instead we have used this VAT portion to reduce the shipping cost for you.
Please note that for delivery to some worldwide destinations there may be additional customs duties and charges for which customers are responsible for paying. We are not able to advise on exact customs charges and you will need to investigate this before placing an order.
Customs will not release your delivery until these charges are settled. Please look out for a text or email from the courier. If the courier alerts us that they can't contact you to settle customs charges we will make every reasonable attempt to get hold of you ourselves. If however, you still do not settle the customs bill or reject the delivery and it is returned to us by the courier we unfortunately have to deduct this cost from your refund.
Remote area surcharge
Please note that some areas are classed as remote by the courier and may incur a remote area surcharge. If this is the case we will let you know and you can decide whether you are happy to pay and proceed or would like to cancel your order.
Returns
Once you receive your purchase you will have a 30-day returns period, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. You are welcome to return the product for a full refund, excluding shipping costs*, subject to the following conditions:
- All returns must be unused and in their original condition (including all original packaging).

Inspire My Play Ltd reserves the right to reject returns outside the 30 day return
period, or items which are returned that are not in their original condition and/or
packaging.
If your parcel is returned to us due to a rejected delivery or failure to claim the parcel, then you will be responsible for paying the return charge. This will be deducted from your refund, along with the initial shipping charge.

What is the PlayTRAY made of?
The PlayTRAY is made from BPA-free, phthalate-free, FDA & LFGB food-safe ABS plastic. It has silicone feet on both the shallow and deep trays, and a silicone seal around the lid.
How is the PlayTRAY packaged?
The PlayTRAY will be packaged in a cardboard box. All boxes can be fully recycled.
Is the PlayTRAY safe for children to use?
The PlayTRAY has been thoroughly safety tested to comply with international toy safety standards. It carries the CE and the new UKCA safety marks. We do ask that you supervise your child carefully when playing with activities in the PlayTRAY, particularly if they involve water or materials that could be a choking hazard.
What age do you recommend the PlayTRAY for?
The PlayTRAY is tested & certified for use from birth. It is designed to be used by children of all ages, with the shallow tray being ideal to start using with younger ones before graduating to the deeper tray. As always, we ask that you please consider the age-appropriateness of the activities you set up in the PlayTRAY and supervise play at all times.
How can I use my PlayTRAY?
The PlayTRAY is designed to be used for all sorts of sensory play, sand, water & craft activities and we can't wait to see the activities you set up! It is made from high quality ABS plastic, but we recommend not overfilling your tray, particularly if you intend to move the tray afterwards.
The PlayTRAY can be used on the table-top or the floor. We do not recommend leaving it outdoors for long periods of time, as you may start to see some weathering and discolouration of the plastic over time.
The inside surface of both trays and the compartments have a gloss finish, enabling them to be used with most dry-wipe pens (please test first). The PlayTRAY is freezer safe.
How do I care for my PlayTRAY?
The PlayTRAY can be cleaned using hot, soapy water and is dishwasher safe up to 60 degrees. Do not clean in a UV dishwasher. Anything higher than this may damage the tray. Please do not use any solvents as these may also damage the PlayTRAY.
ABS plastic was chosen due to its stain resistant properties and it has undergone rigorous testing with the use of food colouring (Wilton brand), sand, play dough and other commonly used play resources.
However, please bear in mind that it is white and in particular that some paint products may stain it. Read the instructions of your paint products carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.
You may also find that some colours of jello may stain your tray. We recommend using gelatine and a bit of food colouring instead.
When using the PlayTRAY for really messy activities and crafts we recommend cleaning it straight afterwards to keep it looking its best.
How do I know if you deliver the PlayTRAY to the country where I live?
Please read our Shipping & Returns page for the latest information on where we are shipping to. We are constantly looking for ways to make shipping the PlayTRAY internationally more affordable and as we become more established as a business we hope to offer more localized, affordable shipping.
Can I return my PlayTRAY?
We want you to be 100% happy with your purchase and offer a 30-day returns period. You are welcome to return the product for a full refund excluding shipping costs subject to certain conditions. You can find out more about these on our Shipping & Returns page.
Inspire My Play Ltd products have been tested and conform to all the safety standards required for the UK, EU, USA, Australia, Canada and Japan.
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.
-
Consider the age appropriateness and suitability of the contents you are placing in the PlayTRAY for your child. Some items may be too small or too large for a young child, or may contain small parts that can be a choking hazard.
-
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.
-
Lastly, always encourage your child to play creatively and explore their environment in a safe way, and have fun!

Brought it for my twin grandchildren who are loving it. Had a lovely time with animals in the sea the other week....keeps everything tidy and together.

Thank you for taking the time to review our PlayTRAY.
We love your pictures! Great to see you've been having a great time using the PlayTRAY!
We love this so much that we bought this second one for our family. My 2 littlest people play in very different ways and have different needs, so now I use the same theme but set them up slightly different variations. My children are 4 and 5 and the PlayTray occupies them for ages
Hi Katie, thank you for you kind words, so pleased to hear you are all enjoying your PlayTRAYs. The set ups look like loads of fun!
