The Round Sorting Tray is a beautifully designed, functional resource for early years learning spaces, offering a unique and flexible approach to sorting and classifying. Made from natural plywood, the set features a 30cm diameter outer tray and five removable triangular inner trays, which fit neatly within the circular base. The trays can be used together or individually, providing endless possibilities for hands-on, inquiry-based activities.

Ideal for exploring early maths and science concepts, this sorting tray encourages children to engage with shape, number, texture, and categorisation in a visually engaging and interactive way. Its modular design supports loose parts play, creativity and sensory exploration, while also promoting independence and collaboration as children share and manage materials.
