Tuff Spot Tray - Sea Blue

A blue Tuff Tray might not solve all your problems, but it will keep your mud, glitter and small plastic animals exactly where you want them. With its bright surface, this version of our bestselling play tray is ideal for activities that need a bit of colour contrast – think ocean play, sky scenes, or any blue-themed sensory setups.

With eight raised edges and a generous surface area, it’s built to contain mess without killing creativity. Whether it’s water play, STEM investigations or a rainy-day small world, this tray gives children a defined space to pour, scoop, build and create. It also works brilliantly for themed learning zones or heuristic setups with babies and toddlers.

Made from tough, impact-resistant plastic, the tray is built to last and light enough to move indoors or out. Stack it up when the day’s done, or pair it with one of our Tuff Spot Tray Adjustable Height Metal Stand for extra versatility.

Use it to boost collaboration, language, gross and fine motor skills – all while keeping the mess in one place. You're welcome.

It’s more than a tray. It’s a blank canvas for the kind of learning that doesn’t always stay between the lines.
