MTA Spaces - Hex Tray & Stand - Sand

Create the ultimate open-ended learning hub with the MTA Spaces Hex Tray & Stand - Sand. Inspired by the geometric harmony of a honeycomb, this thoughtfully designed kit provides a functional and aesthetically calming setup for indoor and outdoor play-based learning.

The Hex Tray, crafted from UV-stable, fade-resistant plastic, measures 80cm wide x 89cm long x 7cm high and comfortably accommodates up to 6 children. Its tessellating hexagonal shape is ideal for collaborative exploration and can be used on the floor, tabletop, or with the included stand to suit different environments and learning activities.

The accompanying Hex Stand features a sturdy grey powder-coated metal frame, with two adjustable height settings: 35cm and 50cm. Assembly is simple, with push-button legs allowing for quick and secure adjustments. While suitable for outdoor use, indoor storage is strongly recommended to prolong the product's life and prevent internal rust. From messy play and small world adventures to early STEM provocations and creative arts, this tray and stand set offers endless possibilities for inquiry-based learning in both early childhood education settings and primary classrooms.
