Where do you all get your messy play trays from? You know the big (octagonal?) green ones?

i use builders mixing trays from b&q, wickes etc ( be careful though, they are made of thiner plastic and one of mine warped whilst stored! guess it got warm! )

i also use assorted sized potting trays which i got from garden centres.

I got my Tuff Spot from an educational supply website (TTS?) but it took ages to come and it was expensive, so I wouldn't recommend it!

To be honest I use my other trays more - a oven shelf soaking tray from Lakeland, and a couple of (new) cat litter trays.
They are a better shape for using inside, and deeper to contain the mess. I put big lumps of Blu Tack under them to secure them to the table so they don't get tipped off.

I have a couple of the tuff spots, though can't remember where I got them from. They are big though, so not always suitable for what I want to use them for.

I've also got the oven shelf soaking tray from Lakeland, which is a really good size, with deep sides.

Underbed storage boxes are also good. I have a couple from Ikea. The advantage is they come with lids, so if it's something you want to keep you can cover it up overnight.

I then tend to use cat litter trays or empty ice cream cartons for individual play.

I use cat litter trays, perfect size and brightly coloured, around £3.00 from asda :)

I use litter trays for individual messy trays. Still looking about for the builder trays though for group play
