What is tray?

A tray is like a helper that holds things while you move them from one place to another.

Imagine you're carrying your lunch to school, but it's messy inside your backpack. A tray would be like a big, flat plate, something you can put your lunch on so it doesn’t spill everywhere. You can carry it easily with both hands or even push it along the floor if you’re in a cafeteria.

Think of a tray as a special kind of container that’s wide and shallow. It helps keep things from falling off when you're moving them, like carrying your toys from the living room to the kitchen.

When you're in a restaurant, servers use trays to carry plates, drinks, and even desserts all at once. They don’t have to make multiple trips because everything is on one flat surface.

You can also use a tray when you’re cleaning up, it’s like a mini table you can roll around while you pick things up. It's a simple tool that makes carrying and moving things easier, just like how your backpack helps you carry your books.
