Inclusive Sand & Water Tray

The perfect tactile experience – feel the sand between your fingers, and the cool water against your skin! With two separate wells, this Sand and Water Tray is a great way to encourage sensory exploration. Use as a sandbox, or add different sensory materials such as dyed rice and pasta, beads, slime, leaves, and dough.

• Encourage exploration through hands-on tactile play
• Develop fine motor skills
• Foster cognitive development with skills such as sorting and counting
• Encourage communication and teamwork with peers
• Support self-regulation
• Inspire the imagination

Don’t forget this tray is about more than just touch and texture. Change it up visually with a mix of colours, shapes and transparent/ reflective objects. Introduce different sounds to explore when pouring or digging, add items with smell, and even use materials that can be tasted!

With its raised centre, this tray is also suitable for wheelchair users and includes a draining tap for easy cleanup.
