Tray Without Gliders in a child's hands
This transparent plastic tray measures 31 × 37.5 × 7 cm, and its contents can be seen from the side through the clear walls. It is made for the Tray Cabinet, which is a separate item; the gliders for the tray are bought separately as their own part. The child takes the tray with the material for one exercise from the cabinet, carries it to the place of work, puts the material away afterwards and returns the tray to the cabinet. Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap. For children aged 3 to 6.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of this transparent tray?
The tray has a height of 7cm. The exact length and width dimensions vary by model, but it's designed to fit standard Montessori shelf spaces and hold typical classroom materials comfortably.
What materials can be stored in this tray?
This tray is perfect for storing small manipulatives like beads, buttons, shells, geometric solids, language objects, counting materials, and other Montessori presentation supplies that need to be organized and easily accessible.
Why is transparency important in Montessori storage?
Transparent storage allows children to see contents without opening containers, promoting independence and decision-making. It maintains visual order in the prepared environment while encouraging purposeful material selection.
How does this differ from trays with gliders?
This tray does not have gliders (sliding mechanisms), making it more stable when placed on shelves. It's designed for stationary storage rather than sliding access, ideal for materials that children will carry to their work space.
