What Are Silicone Nesting Scoops?

Silicone nesting scoops are a fun and functional set of scooping tools in graduated sizes that stack neatly together. Lightweight, flexible, and designed for toddler hands, they’re perfect for scooping, pouring, measuring, and stacking — whether it’s sand, water, rice, or sensory beads.

Why they’re amazing:

  • 🧠 Encourage fine motor development and hand-eye coordination
  • 🌈 Often come in soft, pastel or vibrant colors that are visually engaging
  • 📦 Nesting design makes them easy to store and great for travel
  • 💦 Ideal for wet or dry play — from water tables to sensory bins

The Magic of Silicone Sensory Play Trays

Sensory play is critical in the early years, helping children explore textures, colors, and spatial concepts. The silicone sensory play tray takes this experience to the next level.

These trays are typically large, flexible, and slightly raised to hold various materials like sand, water, beans, foam, or slime. With curved edges and a non-slip base, they provide a contained, easy-to-clean surface for messy play without turning your floor into a disaster zone.

Top features include:

  • Non-toxic and BPA-free silicone
  • 💧 Waterproof and heat-resistant – great for ice play or warm sensory experiences
  • 🧽 Wipeable or dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup
  • 🔁 Perfect for Montessori-style play, DIY sensory kits, and STEM exploration

Pair the tray with scoops and shovels to create a full tactile experience that’s both educational and entertaining.


Meet the Silicone Multi-Purpose Shovel

Think of this as the toddler version of an all-terrain tool. The silicone multi-purpose shovel is a sturdy, bendable tool that can handle scooping, digging, scraping, and pouring in a variety of play settings.

From digging holes at the beach to scooping pasta in a sensory bin, this tool is designed to withstand hard play while staying soft and safe.

Why it’s a must-have:

  • 🛠️ Tough enough for outdoor digging but soft enough for indoor use
  • ✋ Sized perfectly for small hands with easy-grip handles
  • 🌍 Eco-friendly, long-lasting, and made from food-grade silicone
  • 🌦️ Weatherproof — it won’t crack in the sun or stiffen in cold temperatures

How to Use These Silicone Tools for Play and Learning

Here are a few fun ideas for integrating these tools into your child’s routine:

🌊 Water Play Station (Chicarubber)

Fill a sensory tray with water, toss in nesting scoops, and let your child pour, scoop, and explore.

🏖️ Beach Day Fun

Use the shovel and scoops to dig, build, and mold in the sand. The silicone won’t absorb saltwater or sand — rinse and reuse.

🍚 Indoor Sensory Bin

Add rice, dried pasta, or lentils to a play tray and let your toddler explore texture, volume, and transfer using the scoops and shovel.

🛁 Bath Time Play

These tools are totally bath-safe and mold-resistant. Turn tub time into playtime with pouring and scooping activities.

🧁 Kitchen Helper

The nesting scoops can double as fun measuring cups when baking with kids!


Safe, Sustainable, and Stylish

Parents love silicone play tools for their easy-to-clean, non-toxic, and eco-conscious nature. These items won’t warp, crack, or fade — and when your child outgrows them, they can be passed down or even used creatively around the house (think kitchen tools, garden scoops, or bath accessories).
