Where are these made?

Dear Naomi J.,These are manufactured in Taiwan.Thank you,Constructive Playthings Customer Service Team

what is the depth of the tray - it says 2.5" and 1.5" in description?

1.5 definitely NOT 2.5. Just big enough lip to keep crayons and pencils from falling off. We also did water activities on it and the spillage never went off the tray.

What are inside dimensions? will it hold a 9 x 12 piece of construction paper?

The trays have a soft surface, and are useful for crafts, as well as serving a meal. A piece of Construction paper can be used to line the tray for a craft project.

Awesome trays!

I ordered these for my son, and love them! They are great for crafts, play doh and most of all, kinetic sand. They keep most of the mess in, are sturdy and the colors are nice too. I have even used them outside, for carrying things. The size is great, they are deep enough to play and hold things in, and very sturdy. These are a great buy, in my opinion. They have been a very useful and versatile addition to playtime with my son.

My absolute favorite mom hack!

If you are having trouble thinking of a gift for a 2-8 year old, this is it! This is the best money you will spend for the most versatile item. These are durable, wash up great, sturdy, and are the perfect addition to your craft closet! I love that my kids can paint, do play doh, kinetic sand, science projects, and I have little to no mess! Great investment, but this!

Useful in several ways in our homeschool.

Works great for the things we’ve been using them for. I use them for water play at the dining room table, for containing kinetic sand, for keeping things from rolling away, for a base for our seed station, we even use the red and green trays to signify things at our charging station that need to charge/are charging(red) and the things that are done charging(green). Lots of uses, and I want a second set now.

Useful and easy to clean

I like everything about these small trays except they are not flat. The center area is higher than the edges I suppose so sand or whatever can go to the sides. That is my only complaint - they meet all other criteria perfectly and we are using them everyday. I just wish they were perfectly flat.

Love the trays but one was missing

I love these trays for quiet busy trays for my church kids. They are the perfect size for an activity/little game, coloring sheet and small snack. The kids can use their busy trays at their seat during the service. Very sturdy. I would give a 5 star rating but I only received 4 trays instead of 5- yellow, green, blue and red
