MTA Spaces - Hex Tray & Stand - Charcoal

Create a collaborative and engaging learning environment with the MTA Spaces: Hex Tray & Stand - Charcoal. Inspired by the structure of honeycomb, this kit offers flexibility for a range of indoor and outdoor learning experiences. Ideal for sensory play, arts and crafts, loose parts, and STEM provocations, this resource transforms any classroom or outdoor space into a hub of hands-on discovery.

The charcoal tray comfortably accommodates up to 6 children, making it perfect for group-based play. Its hexagonal shape not only encourages cooperation and shared inquiry but can also be tessellated to expand play areas. The accompanying stand is height adjustable to 35cm or 50cm, adapting to the needs of different age groups and play styles. Use the tray with or without the stand, on the floor, tabletop, or as a freestanding station. The natural charcoal colour provides a neutral base that enhances contrast and focus during creative or exploratory activities. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, but recommended to be stored under cover to protect against rust and prolong the lifespan of the metal stand.
