Ladder tray

In combination, a ladder having a ladder head, a plurality of front legs extending downwardly from the ladder head, a plurality of back legs extending downwardly from the ladder head, a climbing rung attached between the plurality of front legs, and a one-piece ladder tray removably attached on the ladder, the ladder tray comprising:

• a planar base having a top with a top surface, a bottom with a bottom surface, a back edge and a peripheral edge;
• a planar brace having a top, a bottom, a ladder surface extending from the brace bottom to the brace top, and the brace bottom located on the base back edge;
• a ladder opening formed in the planar base and extending through the base top surface to the base bottom surface, the ladder opening adjacent to the brace, the front legs in the ladder opening while bearing against substantially an entire height of the ladder surface, the back legs in the ladder opening, the ladder tray between the ladder head and the climbing rung, the brace top bearing against the ladder head while the legs of the ladder extend through the ladder opening thereby disposing the removable ladder tray between the ladder head and the climbing rung;
• and
• wherein, when the combination is in use, a major plane defined by the planar base extends substantially parallel to a major plane of a top surface of the ladder head as the brace top is bearing against the ladder head, and when the combination is in use, the planar base is configured to hold and carry tools.
