At Growing Kind, we are a tiny bit obsessed with sorting trays and this one is a real beauty.
This handsome and versatile wooden tray is ideal for loose parts or nature finds to be easily sorted, organised, and compartmentalised, creating meaning and sense in the minds of young children.
Alternatively, it could be attached to the wall as a beautiful way to store seasonal treasures from the natural world.
Team them up with Spring Pompoms – Set Of 50, Explore Nook Fine Motor Kit and Nature Play Prompts for a fun ‘let’s get moving and sorting kit’ at your fingertips.
Recommended age is 3 years +
The tray measures 60cm x 42cm x 10cm.

I love this sorting tray and its large size. Now it holds various toys but will eventually be used for small world play bits and pieces as kids get a bit older. I like the rustic look, it is light but sturdy.
