Abstract: A lighter-than-air toy balloon storage container is provided which is shaped to resemble a toy space station, aircraft hanger, or the like in order to integrate the storage container into the overall toy construction. The container may be formed in the shape of an octahedron from a one-piece cardboard or paperboard blank with top, bottom, side and end walls. One or both of the end walls may be hinged to permit insertion or withdrawal of the associated balloon toy, the latter shaped to resemble a toy flying saucer or the like. One or more of the container walls may also be provided with transparent inserts, as well as indicia enhancing the unique appearance of the container.
