Why do we love his Trade Aid mango wood tray with elephant designs?
 
-  Having a tray as part of your household equipment is vital!  Transport a cup of tea and a bit of cake from kitchen to dining room/lounge/outdoor area with ease!   
-  During a party you can move many items from the kitchen to where they need to go.
-  Playing board games - and dice games such as Yahtzee is MUCH easier and less stressful if children roll the dice inside the tray!
-  Keep all your journaling equipment in one place on the tray, and easily move it around to where you want to work.
-  Set up a tray with art equipment that your children are allowed to use without asking -inspire creativity by providing good-quality equipment and add to it from time to time.
-  Keep a tray by the front door to put items in that you need to take with you when you go out.
-  The tray by the front door is a handy place for visitors to leave their bags and keys etc.
- When opening bags of Lego have a tray under the bags as they are cut open to ensure that all the bits stay on the tray and don't go missing on the floor (causing INTENSE frustration!!).
- Take a few carefully chosen toys outside on a tray for a nice game under a tree.
- Present carefully-chosen craft supplies to your children on a tray - perhaps some felt squares, embroidery thread, needles, scissors, paper to make patterns, and some stuffing and see what they make. 
 
 There are hundreds of uses for a tray - and this beautiful handmade wooden tray with inset handles will be well-used in any household!
