The Hexacle Tuff Tray (90cm) and Stand in Ice Blue is an innovative early years resource specifically designed for sensory, messy, sand, and water play in classrooms, day nurseries, and playrooms. Unlike industrial cement-mixing spot trays, Hexacle Tuff Trays are fully tested and certified to the European EN71 toy safety standard, giving practitioners and parents total confidence in their daily safety and durability.

Featuring a unique 20% deeper wall design (5.5cm depth) compared to standard traditional tuff trays, the Hexacle tray provides extra containment to prevent messy play materials, water, and sand from spilling onto floors. Spanning a generous 90cm width, it offers ample space for multiple children to gather, explore, and engage in cooperative small-world or messy play activities simultaneously.

The set includes a heavy-duty single-piece steel frame stand with three adjustable height settings (45cm, 55cm, and 65cm) to adapt as children grow. Manufactured from 80% recycled plastic with hand-finished, smooth edges and a wipe-clean surface, the entire unit can be assembled without tools in under 60 seconds or disassembled for compact storage when not in use.
