Review: Highly recommend !! - This tray is honestly amazing! It’s sturdy, high quality material, easy to clean (for messy sensory play), and the perfect size for my kids to play together! I am so excited to come up with all kinds of fun sensory play ideas and crafts! Also, absolutely amazing customer support too! They were so kind in answering my questions and genuinely care about their customers! 10/10 recommend all around!
Review: Very large heavy plastic - Purchased for a sensory tray for my littles ages 1 yr, 2, 3, and 5. I love the fact that I can place items in it for each of the kids and there is enough room that their not on top of each other. With that being said it's to big at times for our use. Because of the size I need to empty and refill daily. I wish I would have purchased the smaller one. I've used this for a little of everything. My older children use it for little Legos and build inside of the tray. This keeps most of the Legos contained off the floor and their creations protected. We've put water, paint, shaving cream, play dough, slim, rice, straw, beads, magnatiles, little people, animals, houses and barns inside. Basically anything I want off my floor or tables. Clean up is a breeze especially with those little toys. It cleans nicely and no scratches. I would definitely recommend.

## Features

The black finish doubles as an instant, ready-to-use chalkboard and is scratch-resistant, helping the tray stay looking new with daily classroom and home use.
- ✔ U.S. SAFETY CERTIFIED: All Learning Through PLAYtrays TUFF Trays are designed by an Early Years Educator and U.S. safety certified, meeting or exceeding applicable safety standards for children’s play equipment, so you can play with peace of mind.

Perfect for coffee tables, living rooms, kids’ playrooms, decks, balconies, backyards, and smaller classrooms. A practical size designed for everyday play and learning.
- ✔ DURABLE & BUILT TO LAST: Designed to handle heavy sand, messy play, and active children, this strong tray holds up better than lightweight trays that warp or crack over time. This TUFF tray is meant for repeated setups, and busy classroom or home environments.
- ✔ CHALKBOARD SURFACE – WRITE, WIPE & REPEAT: The black tray works as an instant chalkboard. Use washable acrylic chalk markers, Tuff Tray markers, or school sidewalk chalk for writing, spelling practice, phonics games, drawing, and creative play. Draw, wipe clean, and reuse again and again.
- RAISED EDGES FOR LESS MESS: Raised edges help keep water, sand, blocks, and sensory materials inside the tray, making playtime easier to manage and cleanup quicker for parents and teachers.

Flashcards, letters, numbers, blocks, and sensory materials visually pop against the black background, making it easier for children to see, sort, and engage. Ideal for early learning games, phonics practice, counting activities, and visual matching. Bright plastic trays can overstimulate busy play spaces.
- SUMMER WATER PLAY: The intentional textured surface provides extra grip during water and sensory play, supporting confident step-in exploration compared to smooth, slippery trays.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great!
*by L***A on September 3, 2025*

This tray looks amazing! I plan to use it with kinetic sand but I think it will make a great play tray for many different things. It is very sturdy but lightweight. The sides are tall so it should keep things from spilling with my older children. Younger kids 3 and under will probably still make a mess
