The Jonti-Craft Sensory Table with Shelf 24" High is a classic, opaque-tub sensory table sized for preschool, kindergarten, and early primary settings, available now across North America at The Sensory Supply. At 24" high on two locking wheels, it places the tub at the right standing height for children from 3 years up, and it includes the two features that distinguish it from the basic sensory table: a drain valve for quick emptying, and a built-in shelf beneath the tub for accessory storage directly at the point of use.

The structure is Baltic Birch, built to Jonti-Craft's three proprietary construction and safety standards. KYDZStrong uses dowel-pin joinery rather than standard dado joints, which is stronger at the stress points where furniture most commonly fails and extends the product's lifespan significantly. KYDZSafe rounds every edge and corner to a minimum half-inch radius, protecting children during active, unstructured play at the table. KYDZTuff applies a UV acrylic coating that resists stains and will not yellow over time. Assembly is required before first use.

Key Features of the Jonti-Craft Sensory Table with Shelf 24" High

• Drain Valve for Easy Emptying - The built-in drain valve allows the tub to empty completely without lifting, bailing, or carrying heavy water-filled containers - the most practically important feature for classrooms and daycares that run the sensory table on a regular basis
• Built-In Under-Tub Storage Shelf - A shelf beneath the tub keeps scoops, moulds, tools, and sensory materials organised and accessible at the table throughout each session, eliminating the time spent retrieving equipment from elsewhere in the room
• Activity Cover Included - The included cover protects tub contents between sessions, keeps materials fresh and uncontaminated, and provides a flat surface for activities when the tub is covered
• Baltic Birch Frame - The frame is Baltic Birch, Jonti-Craft's preferred structural material for classroom furniture, chosen for its density, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping and damage under sustained daily use
• KYDZStrong Dowel-Pin Construction - Jonti-Craft's proprietary construction uses dowel-pin joinery rather than standard dado joints, which is stronger at the stress points where furniture most commonly fails and extends the product's lifespan by up to 50% compared to conventional construction
• KYDZTuff UV Finish - Stain-Resistant, Non-Yellowing - The KYDZTuff coating is a UV acrylic finish as durable as a bowling lane surface, resistant to staining and engineered not to yellow over time, keeping the frame's appearance intact through years of classroom use
• KYDZSafe Rounded Edges - Every edge and corner is rounded to a minimum half-inch radius using Jonti-Craft's KYDZSafe system, eliminating sharp edges and corners for safe active play around the table
• Two Locking Wheels - Two locking wheels provide the mobility to reposition the table as needed while locking securely to prevent movement during active play sessions
• 24" Standing Height for Children Aged 3 and Up - At 24"H, the table places the tub at the correct ergonomic standing height for preschool and kindergarten-aged children, supporting independent access and comfortable extended sensory engagement
• Assembly Required - Assembly is required before first use; intended for adult completion
• Made in the USA - Designed and manufactured in the United States by Jonti-Craft, a family-owned company serving early childhood education since 1979

Skills & Development Supported at the Jonti-Craft Sensory Table

• Tactile Discrimination & Sensory Processing - Immersing hands in water, sand, kinetic sand, and varied sensory materials develops tactile discrimination and supports sensory processing in a natural, play-based context appropriate for preschool-aged children
• Fine Motor Skills - Scooping, pouring, filling containers, and manipulating small objects in the tub develop the precise hand and finger control that underpins writing, dressing, and daily independence
• Scientific Thinking & Early STEAM Concepts - Exploring how water flows, how sand changes when wet, what floats or sinks, and how materials behave introduces early science concepts through direct, hands-on investigation
• Language & Communication - Describing textures, naming materials, narrating play, and sharing discoveries with peers generates rich, naturalistic language development in a context children approach with genuine enthusiasm
• Social Development & Collaborative Play - The 42" wide table accommodates two or more children playing simultaneously, creating a natural context for parallel and cooperative exploration, turn-taking, and shared sensory discovery
• Gross Motor Coordination - Reaching across the tub, lifting and pouring containers, and transferring materials develop the gross motor patterns and body coordination that support physical development alongside fine motor work
