Tuff Spot Tray - Black
A staple for any EYFS, Primary or Forest School setting – our black Tuff Spot Tray is built for sensory, messy and investigative play. Its size and shape are perfect for group work, and the contrasting colour boosts visual learning. Easy to clean, store, and endlessly adaptable across all areas of learning.
If you haven’t got a Tuff Spot Tray yet, this is your sign. The original (and still the best) play tray for EYFS and primary settings – ready for messy play, minibeast hunts, small world setups, construction zones and more.
The large, low-profile shape means children can reach in from all sides, whether they’re scooping, pouring, sorting or storytelling. And that deep black surface? Ideal for contrast play with chalk, colourful loose parts, natural textures, or anything gloopy and glorious. It also makes mark making pop and helps children visually separate objects and materials – perfect for investigation, observation and early classification.
Whether it’s a STEM / STEAM experiment, a sensory tuff spot, or simply a themed tray of seasonal bits and bobs, this tray can handle it. Built from tough plastic that’s light enough to lug around but durable enough to take a beating from buckets of gloop.
Why not pair with our or ? Indoors, outdoors, upside-down, full of dinosaurs or shaving foam – this tray gets the job done.
