There is a covered tray made by Rubbermaid that was designed to carry
deviled eggs. It has 20 dimples for egg halves.
Another idea is a paint tray. It is a tray with dimples made for mixing
watercolors.

I'm happy to say i found a bead sorter. Hurray? I have got so many
containers of seeds with some colors mixed up. Usually, they sit and collect
dust while I replace them with new bags of beads, but now I have a lady at
one of my farmer's markets who loves to do that kind of stuff. Does anyone
have suggestions for what kind of trays to use other than ice trays and egg
cartons for this incredible job?
