What Makes Our Tuff Tray Different?

A Sensory-Textured Surface You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

We designed our textured CANVAS to help children explore safely and confidently, and to enjoy hands-on sensory play without the quality frustration of traditional trays.

A Sensory PLAY Resource

Designed To Inspire

Inside this educator-created deck are 60 illustrated sensory play ideas.

Each card shows you exactly what to gather, how to set it up, and how to guide your child through play using materials you already have at home.

Whether you’re a busy parent or an early years teacher, you’ll always have an engaging activity idea ready.

I appreciate the textured bottom as my daughter likes to sit and stand in her tray and it prevents slipping. This is a purchase that will grow with your kid their whole childhood!

I'm not sure I can go back to sensory play any other way. The first day we got it I brought it outside and my kids hopped right in. No mess for me!
