These trays are my latest Mommy discovery. And I almost didn’t buy them. I am still slightly embarrassed at their price ($15) but I use them almost daily, so I guess I can get over it.
I had previously been using my old, beaten up cookie trays as craft trays. They were great for catching stray beads, keeping glue contained and simplifying clean up. However, they are my cookie trays, which I do use fairly often. Constantly covering them with foil and having to clean them daily was getting old.
So, I started doing some research and finally ordered these.

There are cheaper ones on amazon, but they didn’t get the same reviews about quality. I am really happy with these. They are bright, a great size and the edges are a good height. We use them for everything remotely craft related, including playdoh. The girls go get them out themselves and if we are only temporarily taking a break from a project, we just leave things on the trays until we are ready to get back to it. In my opinion, everyone with craft inclined children should have these.
Apparently, it doesn’t take much to make me happy.
