Paint Tray (square) Masterkidz ME12401 — children's art accessory, compact plastic paint pan

Square paint tray Masterkidz ME12401 is a compact plastic paint pan designed for children's art and craft activities. The tray provides a shallow, wipeable surface for holding and mixing small amounts of paint, water, or pigments, making it practical for short painting sessions, classroom classes, after-school activities and home projects where a simple reusable container is preferred.

Advantages

The tray's compact square shape saves workspace and allows multiple trays to be arranged side by side for group activities. Made from lightweight, durable plastic, it is easy to carry and wash by hand. The shallow depth reduces spill risk while still offering enough capacity for mixing colours and rinsing brushes. The simple design is child-friendly and fits common brushes, sponges and small art tools.

Suitable for

• Children's painting classes and art lessons
• Home craft projects and hobby painting
• Preschool and primary school group activities
• Workshops, demonstrations, and mini painting stations

When it may not be suitable

This compact, shallow tray is not intended for heavy-duty or large-volume painting where large amounts of paint or medium need to be mixed and stored. It is also not designed for use with highly corrosive chemicals or solvents; such substances may damage the plastic over time.
