Nesting Wooden Trays - Set of 3

This Nesting Wooden Trays set includes three versatile wooden trays designed to support a wide range of early years learning experiences. Made from pine wood with a sturdy plywood base, each tray includes handles at both ends for easy handling. The trays nest neatly inside one another for compact storage and offer a natural, tactile way to present materials for play, exploration and classroom organisation.

Ideal for sensory play, loose parts learning, and the creation of themed mini-worlds, these trays encourage children to explore, sort, and arrange resources in an engaging and self-directed way. Their open-ended design supports STEM-based inquiry, early numeracy, and creative storytelling. These trays also help children develop independence as they access and interact with materials of their choice.
