Sand And Water Trays


Recommended Posts

Hi could anyone tell me if they are using a dual purpose water/sand tray. Am about to purchase one and would love to know if people could recommend one (Space is tight so need a combi one) I would ideally like one that is a little more exciting than the standard box like tray. I saw a water tray in a couple of the catalogues (i think it was called 'mississippi' ) it had a cascade and lock of all things!

cheers for you help

Ps sorry that this post might come up twuce as i tied before to post and it nver appeared :o

Liza,

Personally speaking, if your space is tight then an ordinary tray could actually be more versatile for you than one that already has a certain type of play in mind.

I would certainly look for one that has a shelf around the edges-not sloping ones. This enhances what the children can do.

Funnily enough Michaella one of our regular suppply teacher's husband is a heart surgeon so I shall see what I can scrounge :)

Thanks for that Lynh56, but I really do want one with a tap so I save time and my back! when emptying. Plus we have some spare money in the budget for this very thing so I do want something a bit different...hense me asking in the first place :o

Sorry Liza,

Didn't make myself clear. I was referring to purpose made sand/water trays. I have a new Oasis sand/water tray and it is very versatile and a good size if your space is limited. However the tap at the bottom is useless, as its not really at the very bottom !!!!!! . The deep trays you mention sound brilliant Michaelle- wish I knew a heart surgeon too !
