The flexible attached lap pad container is comprised of five parts: a containment part, a receptacle part, a flexible part, an attachment part, and a pad part. The containment part panels are sized and shaped to enable a comfortable movement of the arms and hands within the containment part to do such things as move a computer mouse, manipulate computer joy sticks, play cards, manipulate toys, cut vegetables, write notes and other work/play activities which can make use of a flat planar surface. The containment part panels are sized and shaped to prevent small items placed within the containment part from falling out of the containment part when not in use. The receptacle part is preferably a rectangular box shape with an open side panel. The top surface of the receptacle part can have a number of slots, holes and openings to hold user items such as pens, pencils, cards, cups, and toys.
