Zen Garden - Circular Sand Tray

The sand trays are designed to provide an ideal sand play experience. The rounded exterior profile and coved interior rim have aesthetic and functional qualities, allowing your palm and thumb a comfortable grip while lifting the tray to reset the sand. The interior cove also allows the spheres to make full contact with the sand surface, avoiding the border margin that results when rolling a sphere up against a box with vertical walls.

The circular tray design responds visually to the sphere forms and eliminates corners, allowing for ease of resetting the sand surface. The 1/4“ recess is designed to contain enough sand to permit the ideal depth for texture transfer.
