Tuff Tray Ideas
I’ve gathered 11 years of tuff tray memories, and it made me think about how much sensory play really supports children — not just mine, but all the little ones I’ve worked with over the years.
It helps with confidence, calm, curiosity, and understanding the world through their senses.
Nothing perfect or Pinterest-worthy… just simple, meaningful play.
If anyone wants easy, low-pressure sensory ideas to try at home, keep an eye out for daily tuff tray posts! Feel free to ask questions or share your experiences with us!! 🍃💛
Sensory play isn’t just “fun”… it’s how children learn.
Tuff trays gave my kids:
✨ a safe way to explore textures, colours, pouring, scooping
✨ early problem-solving and creativity
✨ practice with fine motor skills
✨ emotional regulation through calm, repetitive actions
✨ confidence in trying new things
✨ imagination without limits
✨ a way to process the world when words weren’t enough
For ND kids especially, sensory play is grounding.
It gives them control, predictability, and a space to regulate.
Looking back at all these photos reminded me of something important:
children don’t need perfect setups — just opportunities to explore.
I’ll be sharing some of our favourites over the next few weeks, along with gentle ideas for parents who want to try sensory play without the overwhelm.
No pressure, no perfection… just simple, grounded moments that help little humans grow. 💚
