I have gotten several emails lately from readers looking for the trays I have and recommend on my Tot Trays page. I searched and searched Oriental Trading and sadly could not find them. These trays often go out of stock. Search “plastic trays” on the Oriental Trading website to see if they are in stock!
In the meantime, I thought it might be good to start a discussion to share alternatives. I know several of you {me included} are in planning mode and ordering supplies to prepare for a new year. I just got a new OT catalog and immediately began hunting and this seems to be the best alternative…
Easy Clean Flat Trays MK-62/110 $19.99 for 6
I also found trays at Discount School Supply.
Brawny Tough Plastic Art Trays, Item # ARTRAY $16.99/5 trays
They also have these, which are definitely smaller but may be perfect for some of you.
Colorations Mini Art Trays, Item # MTRAY $21.95/12 trays
If any of you use something different for Tot Trays, please feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts or suggestions. If you have a post on your blog showing them in action, that would be helpful and I invite you to link to it.
Many people have also asked where I got the bins pictured in this post. Unfortunately those were from the $1 section at Target a few years back, so they aren’t available either!
