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.

  • 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

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.

  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.

The most AMAZING parenting product

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

Best thing I’ve bought my son

My son was 14 months old when I bought an inspire my play tray and it is easily the best thing I have bought him. Don’t think twice about spending a little extra on this. It’s worth it. The grips help it stay in place, lid means it can be put away easily for another day, and the compartments can be used in loads or creative ways. We love it!

Amazingly versatile

My only regret is not buying this tray sooner! I cannot rate it enough. We use it for all of our sensory play now and my kids (4 and 6 years old) absolutely love it.
I love how convenient is to put away an activity ready to get out later on in the day and also makes it easier for my children to help tidy up as it is super visual.
If you've been undecided, just do it! I promise you will not regret it.

Love it!

The best toy I have bought for my boy. We have done so many activities from it already and can’t wait to find more ways to use it. Wish I had discovered it sooner

Product Review

Love this product, it’s like getting 3 products in one. The trays are removable, so you can use them separately,. The tray is deep and a good size. The lid has a lip so you can use it as a sepetate play tray. What’s really good is that the lid fits firmly into the tray without falling out, making it portable to take on an outing with you. Well worth the money 💰
