Where do I get the blue trays?
If you’ve seen pictures of some of the activities we do around you, you may have noticed a common item:
The blue trays! I use these babies with nearly every activity we do! They are wonderful! I have had a few questions as to where I got them…
My sweet mother-in-law is a nurse in day-surgery. These blue trays are used to put the sterile supplies on during surgery. Afterwards, they have to be thrown away. When I was teaching, she would save TONS for me to use with projects with my students. A few months ago, I asked her to start saving them for me again since Big Brother and I were starting to do some simple projects. They were free…and they are SO handy!
I would recommend contacting your local surgery center or hospital and asking if they might put some aside for you to pick up. I’m sure they will be more than happy to help out and will actually be relieved that they are not being thrown away.
