Heuristic Wicker Tray and Stand Set

Encourage discovery and exploration with the Heuristic Wicker Tray and Stand Set, a versatile resource that brings natural learning into classrooms, EYFS environments, and primary schools. Perfect for heuristic play, sorting, and sensory exploration, this set offers children opportunities to investigate, experiment, and create using natural textures and open-ended materials.

The set includes a Mirror and Wicker Tray Wooden Stand (H45cm), a 60cm Heuristic Wicker Tray, 4 Wicker Shopping Baskets, and 6 Petal Pots. The large tray and stand provide a focal point for presenting materials, while the baskets and pots encourage children to organise, collect, and sort objects. The addition of a mirror introduces a reflective element, supporting self-awareness and exploration of patterns, symmetry, and visual perception.

Ideal for indoor use, this resource helps children develop fine motor skills, problem-solving, and early mathematical understanding such as sorting, counting, and categorisation. It also promotes communication, collaboration, and sustained shared thinking as children work together to investigate the items within the tray and baskets.

Durable, natural, and engaging, this set is a beautiful addition to learning areas, supporting heuristic play and sensory discovery across Clasrooms, KS1, and KS2.
