Large Tray

The Large Tray is an essential Montessori practical life material designed to support a wide variety of purposeful activities in the prepared environment. Its spacious surface area and sturdy construction make it ideal for exercises that require more room—such as extensive pouring work, sorting, polishing, food preparation, transferring activities, and multi-step tasks.

This tray allows children to carry materials with confidence, organise their work neatly, and understand boundaries within their workspace. The larger size promotes independence as children learn to transport items safely, handle heavier or bulkier objects, and coordinate their movements with control and precision.

Durable, beautifully finished, and versatile, the Large Tray is suitable for Montessori classrooms, preschools, daycare centres, and home learning setups. It blends seamlessly into the environment while supporting the child’s growing sense of order, responsibility, and mastery over practical life tasks.
