Tuff Spot Tray - Sponge Insert

Elevate sensory exploration in your Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) setting with our Tuff Spot Tray Sponge Insert. Thoughtfully designed to fit seamlessly into our Tuff Spot Trays, this accessory transforms ordinary play into an extraordinary sensory experience.

Our Tuff Spot Tray Sponge Insert invites young learners to engage in tactile exploration, fostering their cognitive and physical development. The soft, durable sponge material is gentle on little hands, ensuring a safe and enjoyable playtime for children of all ages.

Discover new textures and sensations by simply adding water and bubbles to create an exciting, bubbly environment that stimulates the senses and encourages imaginative play. The sponge's porous nature holds and releases bubbles, adding a dynamic and visually captivating element to sensory activities.

Our Tuff Spot Tray Sponge Insert enhances sensory play, which is crucial for early childhood development. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving skills and social interaction. As children squeeze, squish and manipulate the sponge, they build hand strength and coordination, laying the foundation for essential life skills.

Our easy-to-clean design makes maintenance a breeze and ensures a hygienic play environment. The insert can be quickly rinsed and dried, ready for the next round of fun and learning. Its robust construction guarantees long-lasting use, providing excellent value for EYFS settings that prioritise quality and durability.

While the Tuff Spot Tray Sponge Insert is designed specifically for our Tuff Spot Trays, its utility extends beyond these trays. It can be used in various sensory bins and containers, making it a versatile addition to any classroom or home-based learning environment. However, please note that trays are not included with this product and must be purchased separately.
