This board ensures your clothes are folded uniformly so they stack up easily and take up significantly less room.
A slide-away storage bag because you've uttered "I'll clean it up later" after playtime way too many times. Simply gather up all of your little one's toys, place them on the mat, and use the drawstring to neatly deposit everything into the basket.
