Abstract: A toy storage and transportation apparatus includes a mat and a container that merges integrally into the mat. The container defines a storage interior and has a first open end and second closed end. The mat extends outwardly from the container to form a recreation area. When in a storage configuration, the mat flexibly rolls around and conforms to the shape of the container. The mat can further comprise a floor portion and at least two flap portions, with flap portions defining a crease with the floor portion. Each flap portion has an attachment fixed to the flap portion opposite from the crease. When folded along the creases and attached to each other with the attachment, the floor portion and flap portions define a tent structure. The flap portions can be formed with a sleeve, and support members are inserted into respective sleeves to form the tent structure.
