Tuff Trays for Sensory and Messy Play

Tuff Trays for Sensory and Messy Play

22nd Jun 2022


Our Active World Tray and Tuff Trays are perfect for containing loose parts, water, and messy play items! 

View our trays and sensory resources.

Suitable for all ages, the Active World Tray is shallow enough for babies to crawl into. The trays also allow children to focus their attention.

Added bonus, the trays are easy to clean - simply rinse off with a hose!
