Alimto Large Play Mat and Toy Storage Organizer Baskets, Outdoor Toy Quick Storage Bag Collapsible Canvas Basket/Bin for Kids Room,Toy Organizer, Prize Box Toys for Classroom Storage (gray)

If your child is like my child, they have A LOT of toys...TOO MANY TOYS...I'm not sure which are worse...the big ones that there are too many of and take up too much space or the little ones, which are scattered everywhere and have pieces missing or embedded under the skin of your feet because you have stepped on them so many times in the middle of the night! I haven't found a solution for hiding, storing, purging the bigger toys, as they tend to notice those missing first, but I have found a solution for the smaller ones in this storage organizer.The storage bag comes in three colors - grey, blue, and pink. I love the blue and grey ones, but feel the pink one would benefit from having an light pink or white mat, as opposed to bright orange. The bag itself is approximately one foot high and wide with sturdy rope handles and a lid that attaches with velcro. The mat itself is approximately six feet in diameter with a generous lip that keeps toys corralled on the mat. I have seen bags like this before, but I don't believe I have seen that feature, which is an excellent addition.What is great about this product is that I can buy a few of these for LEGO, Action Figures, and other small toy sets and have a bin for each one. There is no more trying to find the missing pieces scattered across different toy chests, different rooms, and in the dishwasher for some reason? When my son wants to play with one, he pulls that bin out, plays to his heart's content in a designated area and then cleans up no fuss, no muss. It is also great for keeping younger siblings away from all those little toys you want them to keep out of their mouths!A product like this is simple in design, but also brilliant in design. I highly recommend them to all parents who are suffering from toy overload like I am! They are also great for pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teachers as well!

This is the perfect handy bag, (a little bigger than a water bottle), for toys on the go. I finally have no problem saying "yes" to my kid when they ask to bring toys out of the house ...as long as they put it in the bag! Then it is easy to clean up when we are out and about. I will probably get a couple more! I wish they had more styles.

Love this storage idea. Perfect for all those little legos and an easy clean up. Downside is the container is soft not hard so if you don't have it half way filled it doesn't stand super straight. The lid is also just soft canvas so it's actually kind of hard to put on. If this was more solid it would be amazing.I will say that it was pretty expensive for what it is. I would buy more if they were half as expensive.

This is all you need for legos! It’s durable, holds soooooo many legos, folds out with legos and easy to clean up! My son loves unfolding it and pouring his legos out onto the mat and loves cleaning up. Perfect!!

I have given up trying to keep the millions of small toys organized in their own bin or spot, much less the kids taking the time to put everything back where it goes. I thought this might make it easier for me to have a bullseye to throw the toys on when picking up after them and maybe I could get them to at least put them back on the mat. I never thought my kids would actually keep the toys on the mat, much less play with their toys on the mat. To my amazement, not only did the kids automatically started gathering their toys and putting them “away” on the mat, but they actually played with their toys on the mat. I hadn’t explained the idea of this toy bag to them, had only told them that it was a toy box for their smaller toys. I thought it was incredible and will be buying @ least 1 more.

I really wanted to absolutely love this product and purchase a couple as a main type of storage in my kids playspace. Overall, I'm underwhelmed and will unfortunately be looking for a different type of container.I'm pretty sure that this would be great for older kids, but at the same time I'm not sure what older kids would need to store that includes a playmat, other than Legos. So it feels like the target market is missed with this sizing.For reference on those looking to buy for toddler toys, this fits (almost exactly) one large bag of duplos. The unfortunate thing is that a duplos bag is actually pretty sturdy and functional on its own. I hoped that it would accommodate this bag plus some more stragglers from other sets, but unfortunately it does not. So, I'll be looking for a bigger storage set for those.The playmat itself is large and the drawstring concept is great. I've tried a couple times and I can't seem to get it to sinch together on both sides though. So I'm not sure if it is a problem with the specific one that I have, or user error.It's important to note that the playmat is really loud because of the material it is made with (think 80s jacket or track pants). If you have sensory issues where things seem loud to begin with, this might not be the best option.However, since the material is so thin, it doesn't take up too much space which is great. The picture that I showed makes it seem like it does, but it can very much be pressed on to compress further. That said, it should be noted that I removed the mat to be able to fold it easier. Which, that is another great point at least for this container that the creators allowed for the velcro to come apart to detach the mat.The company could take it one step further though and put a zipper/mesh compartment in the top of the lid so that way it could be put completely out of the way without taking up any storage space inside of the container itself.In the end, I did find a pretty good solution for what to do with it. I did a recent organizational project where I removed all puzzles from their boxes and put them individually into waterproof zipper bags. This container was great storage for those zipper pouches. My hope is that I can lay the mat out on the table, my kids can do a puzzle, and when they're done the pieces should be easy to find since they were all contained on the mat. However, while I found an alternative use, I'm not sure that I'll keep it since I will have to find other storage options and I would like everything to be similar.I do love that it seems to be lined with a sturdier material-- Maybe even waterproof on the inside? It makes the quality seem better. I do wish though, that they would put some ribbing on the sides with a sturdy cardboard piece that could be placed at the bottom so that it stands up on its own without being completely full.Also, the handles are just way too long. They could be half the size so it doesn't touch the floor.The product itself though it does seem really well made. The stitching isn't coming apart at all, the depths of color for the gray is really nice, and the handles- while long- are soft.If this company could come up with a much larger version of this, comparable to the large Sprouts rectangular storage box, then I think it would be perfect to buy multiples for storing toys. Can you imagine a 2ft or even 3ft toy storage box with handles AND a mat? Talk about a dream.If they could solve all the problems (sturdier base, quieter mat, lid storage, larger size option), this would honestly be perfect since the quality is spot on. At this size though, it is extremely hard to justify the price tag.

We got multiple of these for my life long Levi collection. It works great for our kids. We can pull them out one at a time depending on how much we want to play with, the yellow color makes it easy to find pieces and my kids understand that the legos stay on the mat. All and all no more hurt feet and now easier to play with and clean up lego than ever before
