Yellow Sensory Tray – Mini Invitation Pack
Digital Download | Individual Use
Yellow Sensory Tray is a colour-focused, open-ended sensory invitation designed to support exploration, curiosity and early language development.
Rooted in hands-on learning, this tray invites children aged 1–5 to investigate texture, light, tone and materials through pouring, scooping, sorting and comparing. It is not a one-off set-up, but an experience to revisit, adapt and deepen over time.
This is about process over product, exploring colour through the senses, not creating something “perfect.”
What’s Included:
Clear overview and set-up guidance
EYFS links across Understanding the World, Communication & Language and Physical Development
Curriculum approach rooted in child-led, exploratory play
Resource list for both basic and extended provision
Differentiation and progression from 9 months to 5 years
