Here are the latest Ikea Flisat play tray ideas I found on Instagram. These incredible sensory tray ideas will have your littles ones engaged for hours.

These activities are not only interesting and fun but they’ll also allow your child to explore, investigate and create. They encourage the use of fine motor skills, language development, problem solving skills and cognitive growth.

You can create sensory activities to stimulate touch, smell, movement, sight and hearing.

Sensory play activities don’t have to be expensive to set up. Use things such as coloured rice, chickpeas, sand, mud, water or stones as the base. You could create a theme like the ones I found below and just throw a load of different textures and colours items (like pom poms) into the tray with some pots and pans and let your childs imagination run wild.

If you’re thinking ‘what can I use the flisat for’ and wanting some inspiration for a themed set up then here are my favourites from Instagram. I’ve tagged the account so you can take a closer look.
