Description

Create an engaging small world setting with the Wooden Mirror Tray, a beautifully designed resource that inspires reflection, discovery, and imaginative exploration. Made from FSC-certified plywood, this tray features a large, scratch-resistant mirror panel that invites children to explore symmetry, light, shape, and perspective in their play. The mirrored surface adds a dynamic visual dimension to any setup, reflecting loose parts, natural materials, or small world figures to enrich storytelling and creative thinking. Two built-in side handles allow for easy transport around the classroom, and the raised tray design keeps materials contained during use. This open-ended resource encourages children to observe and manipulate materials from different angles, developing spatial awareness and fine motor skills in the process.

While the mirror is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof and may show signs of normal wear if used with hard or sharp items. As with all products in the range, this item supports environmentally conscious choices in the classroom through the use of sustainably sourced timber. Please ensure the tray is not placed in direct sunlight, as the reflective surface may pose a fire risk. When used indoors with care, this versatile mirror tray offers an excellent foundation for exploratory learning, creativity, and collaborative play.
