Hot Chocolate Sensory Tray STL | Playtessori

Snow outside, a warm kitchen inside. A small hand drops one marshmallow into the big red cup, then another, then counts: "Five! Now the cookie!" The gingerbread man takes a bath in the chocolate, and two candy canes lean together into a heart.

The Hot Chocolate Sensory Tray turns everyone's favourite winter drink into a play tray your child can fill, count and pretend with. The cup is about 20 cm wide, with a snowflake on the front and a deep chocolate well that holds pom poms, cotton balls, play dough, rice or real mini marshmallows.

It is a play café, a counting game and a cosy Christmas table decoration, all in one.

What they practise

• Counting and one-to-one correspondence: one marshmallow, two, three...
• Fine motor control: pinching, placing, transferring with tongs or a spoon

• Patterns and colours with the red-and-white candy canes

For makers: hot chocolate is the most giftable theme of the season. Sell the tray as a play set for kids, as a candy and cookie dish for the Christmas table, or bundle it with real cocoa and marshmallows as a teacher gift.

Please supervise young children: the marshmallows and small pieces are small parts.
