    Default Looking for cheap tuff spot

    I've seen cement mixing tray for £14.44 includes delivery. Do you think that's a good price as there £18 at b&q. Has anyone seen them cheaper?

    I got mine off amazon a while a go it was £8 so £10 sounds right, only thing is its not a tuff spot like the wickes one so won't fit on the legs if you decide to buy later and it's not as deep. That said its lighter to move around, mine is much loved.
    This week it's been used for dinosaurs crunching through cereal, plants and soil, for the children to mix their own range of soaps and perfume, for the little Lego, for sand and cars, for shaving foam and to mix soil and water to make cement when building a wall.
    It's uses are never ending.

    It's a big tray (hexagonal I think)that builders use for mixing cement, I mainly use mine outdoors but use it indoors for clean activites like Lego as its too big for my kitchen. It's great the children can all get round it and get stuck into the activity on offer, it keep the mess mostly confined to the tray.

    Thanks everyone. I can't see any amazon ones with free delivery. Do you have free delivery code?

    Hi everyone!

    To anyone who has a tuff spot already - could they be used for a children's dining table? I can see from photos that they have a lip around the edge, but it would be so perfect if I could buy the multi height stand and use it for feeding and play! Could it work, or is the lip too big?

    Thanks!

    -April

    You would have to rig up some sort of cover (hard) as the lip is quite substantial and no good for dining.
