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. For some stubborn stains we recommend using the Pink Stuff or oxy-action powder or even toothpaste!


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 some materials may stain it, including some paint products. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Do not use sharp objects in the tray. These can be dangerous for children and can cause injury.

  5. 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.

  6. Do not leave your child unattended by water. Water play is fun, but it can also be dangerous.

  7. Clean the PlayTRAY and its contents regularly, to avoid the growth of bacteria, mold or other harmful microorganisms.

  8. Avoid using any toxic materials, paints, dyes or other chemicals in the PlayTRAY.

  9. Keep in mind that children develop at different rates and it is important to adjust the contents of the PlayTRAY accordingly.

  10. Be mindful of the temperature of the contents in the PlayTRAY, especially if your child is likely to put the contents in their mouths.

  11. Lastly, always encourage your child to play creatively and explore their environment in a safe way, and have fun!

Inspire My Play Ltd is committed to providing safe and age-appropriate products for children. However, the safety of your child is ultimately the responsibility of the parent or caregiver. Please use the PlayTRAY and its contents responsibly, and always supervise your child while they are playing. Follow the guidelines provided to ensure that your child is safe and that the contents of the tray are age-appropriate and suitable for your child. In no event shall Inspire My Play Ltd be liable for any injuries or damages resulting from the use of our products.

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.

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!

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.
