this is another one of our farm theme play trays, this one was made before the larger tuff spot tray witch was inspired by famed teds. This one was inspiderd by edible themed sensory play ideas.
We know a lot of our small world and sensory play ideas involve a lot of smaller parts. These style trays are not very good if your child is likely to mouth the small objects imposing a health and safety risk.
This is where this tray come to mind for people who need edible ideas but still want to make small world/themed sensory play trays or boxes.
The tray we have used here is the 60cm square guarding tray from eBay.
Link to the tray here.
moving on to what we have used for our edible tray base.
This base is made up of green coloured rice witch is dry rice coloured with food colouring. This is safe to eat but it won’t taste very nice.
The other side of our tray is honey loops also called cherios. This is a breakfast cereal.
Down the middle we have some hay bales made of wheat biscuits also called wheatabix. This is also a breakfast cereal.
for detail we added some wooden trees from train track play sets.
Next we have our little red roof house. This was the top off a Nora’s ark play set sorting boat. I have no idea where the other half went but the top make a good house for small world play trays.
we added some wooden farm animals these come from eBay In a Nora’s ark animal pack. Our set come as second sold cheap as there where three pigs and only one sheep but we never minded that as we just wanted wooden animals for our tray. But any farm animals would do as long as they are to big to fit inside the mouth.
edwin added some peppa pig figures these are a little small but you can add whatever fingures you wanted to. Plus you could just leave it with the animals and not add any fingures.
the last thing I did was to add some craft lolly sticks to make a path from the house the tray seemed a little empty and needed somthing else to add more detail this worked well.
Thats the end of this tray if ive missed anything out please let me know. If anyone needs and help or advice please feel free to message me directly or comment.
