We’re Kamilla and Daniel, a husband-and-wife team and the founders of Learning Through PLAYtrays®. The idea began with a simple wish from an early years teacher — a premium sensory textured Tuff Tray option in North America. One that was safer, stronger, and truly designed for children’s play.
With Kamilla’s 15+ years of experience in Early Childhood Education and Daniel’s 20+ years in manufacturing, we turned that wish into reality.

Learning Through PLAYtrays® officially launched on February 14, 2024 — a date we’ll never forget, marking our very first sale! We’re not a corporate team — just the two of us, building this brand together from the ground up. When you support our small business, you're supporting a teacher-founded brand rooted in purpose and hands-on learning.
UK-style Tuff Trays were never made for children’s play — they’re actually cement motor mixing trays with smooth, slippery surfaces and are known for cracking easily due to cheap plastic and mass production. All U.S.and Canada brands rebrand these utility trays, mark up the price, and label them as “Tuff Trays” for classrooms. Kamilla, as an Early Childhood Educator, was unsatisfied with the quality, safety, and feel of these trays.
We’re proud to be the only brand in North America offering a Tuff Tray designed by an educator and engineered with a custom sensory-textured surface. Daniel developed our original design using quality production methods and real classroom feedback.
