sorting tray

Divided container surface

A sorting tray is a shallow container with compartments or sections for organizing small items by category.

Teachers use sorting trays for classroom activities where children group objects by color, shape, or size.

Crafters and hobbyists use them to separate beads, screws, or other small parts: She dumped the mixed buttons into a sorting tray.
