Hiya,
I got an 'active world tray' from TTS Supplies, I LOVE it!! It gets used for messy stuff, marble run, oats, jelly, cornflour, water, playdough, you name it!!!
Mine cost £24.00 incl. postage and packing
You can probably get it cheaper elsewhere, but I like TTs and they have prompt delivery etc

Have fun with yours!

I got mine from here http://www.tts-group.co.uk/shops/tts/Products/PD1726771/Active-World-Tray/

I'm not sure if they are cheaper from places like b&q?

go to your local garden centre and get a compost tray for about £6!

its what i use and is great, it is about a square metre and about 2 inches deep.

used for allsorts, messy play, animals, good for keeping construction toys in one place too.

id go to an independant garden centre rather than a large chain one as its more likey to be cheaper.

I used these all the time teaching and have been thinking how I would like one. I have been thinking about alternatives too. How about an underbed storage box? The are flat, probably cheaper, still can put stuff in them but are a little smaller? I may go for one of these instead, just for space wise.

Cross posted with sweets. Her idea seems much cheaper and more practical. Just been looking and can get some. New wellies needed too so off to garden centre I go!

Thats an amazing price! The stands are extortionate prices :clapping:
