Possibly the best investment yet in grandson's development
Expensive, yes on the higher side of many a tuff tray ensemble that I have been considering for some time, but I am really pleased with this tray now it is here. It is big, and that is a good thing, loads of space for loads of stuff in those compartments.Versatile, absolutely. Did our first (dry) tray yesterday for today, a bug themed tray, with hessian, ribbons, raffia, sticks, leaves, and all sorts of bits, along with Inspires funnels and sieve/bowl set and he loved this! He is not quire 2.5 years old and played for just over half an hour. He literally sat, investigating, touching, moving from compartments, sieving, scooping.This is going to be much loved. We got the cards to go with this and I found them inspirational. Like I said, expensive, yes on an initial outlay. But weigh that against times used over the years abs suddenly it's not so expensive after all. And I had fun too! One happy nanny and grandson combo indeed!Update - just had time to read the sensory play ebook which is packed full of fabulous information which just enhances the whole play experience. this is accessed via a QR code on an insert in the box. Today I had an Easter Play tray ideas email, just endless ideas that in all honesty, I would not be coming up with.Second update - can I rate this tray to OUTSTANDING because it simply is. This morning we (and kitty) have all sat for 50 minutes, yes 50 whole minutes, playing in this tray with big beads, sea animals, a bit of oobleck and shaving foam, some flowers from a hawaiian garland and the scoops, tweesers and pots. Honestly, we have had such a huge amount of fun and the prep of it was minimal. I had cooked some spaghetti and coloured it too, but overcooked it and it was just sticky - lesson learnt that less is deffo more!This is one incredible learning resource that I know is going to grow with him. When I took it out today, he was jumping for joy, waited for the splat mat to go down and then sat and just went oooh as soon as I took the lid off, then dove straight in. It is such a simple concept but works brilliantly.

Huge hit!!
We absolutely love this tray!!I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old. I’ve been wanting this tray for over a year and decided now was the best time to purchase, as it will be perfect for both kids growing up.My baby is now sitting and exploring colours and textures, and this has been great to put different things in for him to go through and play with.My oldest loves this for fun activities. We have used sand, rice and papers etc. Using this for things such as “find objects in the correct colours” and also using kinetic sand to make ice creams (pictured). We’ve had hours of play from this every day, and not even had it for a week yet!!The quality is outstanding, the durability is amazing and it washes so, so well. It’s extremely sturdy, and the none slip pads on both parts is perfect for water play too.

Sooo worth the money!
Lovely sensory play tray. It's essentially 3+ trays depending on how you set it up. The lid and base, plus the inserts.. so many ways to play. Bought for my 27mnth old and he loves it. We've used it for both water, messy and dry play. We've had tough trays in the past but this is great. It's so easy to put away too. Plus the non slip on base and lid is *chefs kiss* designed for kids and parents in mind. You won't regret this purchase!

Great for imaginative play!
I LOVE this product. I have just started childminding and was going to buy one of the big black floor trays but was worried about how much space it would take up and how easy it would be to clean. This tray is the perfect size, and it's so easy to create small world play activities- for example some plastic sea creatures, pebbles, sand and water. It's easy to lift out the way if needed and clean at the end of the day. Also there are lots of ideas online for how to use it. It is expensive but would definitely recommend!

Lovely but expensive
Firstly it is pretty pricey for what it is. I’m sure there are cheaper alternatives out there. Although it’s expensive I do love it. It’s a lot smaller than I had expected, it’s about the length of your finger to your elbow. It is quite small but it’s perfect for its purpose. I love that you can pop the lid on when you’re done and come back to it. It’s also easy to store as it doesn’t take up much space at all! If you have the budget go for it but if you’re on the edge I would definitely recommend looking for an alternative. A deep cooking tray does the same job!

Perfect for Play!
I wondered about purchasing this for some time and I'm pleased I did. It's a great size to use both indoors and outdoors and the lid and additional segments are useful to set up a wide range of invitations to play. It's not too deep which means it's easily stored away under a unit/chair when not in use. The E-book that comes with it provides some good examples of how you could use it but you'll find loads online too!

Sturdy and large
It is pricey for what it is, however it has large removable segments and deep tray for all those messy creations. The lid can be utilised as well. It is very sturdy so should last a long time

Lid doesn’t seal completely
Our little one loves the creative play but unfortunately the lid doesn’t seal completely on ours (always stay up on one side no matter how hard you press down!!)So cannot store perishable things to use the next day as advertised….which is a real shame 🙄
