ABSTRACT:
A new and improved toy box structure includes a transparent, hollow spherical member having an interior chamber for receiving toys and an aperture on its exterior surface in communication therewith. The aperture is selectively enclosable using a removable disc shaped lid. Recessed handles are diametrically disposed on the exterior surface of the spherical member which may be grasped by a user. The spherical member is supported by a ramp style base component. The unique design of the device allows it to be easily rolled from one location to another and allows a child to view toys stored therein without having to remove the lid. Also, the unique design allows a user to manipulate the device to locate and remove a desired item without removing the other similarly stored items.
