Sensory & Tuff Tray Ideas

10 tried‑and‑tested activities children genuinely love

If you’re running out of inspiration for your sensory or tuff tray setups, this activity pack brings you a collection of 10 engaging ideas that have all been tried, tested, and thoroughly enjoyed by our children.

Each activity includes clear recipes, step‑by‑step instructions, and supporting photos, making it easy to recreate the sensory resources we’ve made in our own setting.

Designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and support open‑ended play, this pack is perfect for childminders, early years practitioners, and families looking to bring more sensory magic into their day.

We hope you enjoy these activities as much as we have.
