ABSTRACT:
The object of this invention is to provide a versatile recreational mat that can be folded easily into a totable storage bag. This is accomplished by the use of six precisely placed handles, three on either side of the mat. First, the two outside handles on either side of the mat are superimposed over the respective center handle on the same side of the mat. The article is then folded in the middle so that the two sets of three handles may be fastened together; thus creating a totable storage bag for transport, but without the numerous zippers and fasteners that interfere with the mat's surface in existing mat/bag combinations. This invention may also include a printable surface offering many play and game possibilities; such as, but not limited to roads for cars, towns for inhabitants, or templates for board games. Pockets may also be included for specific recreational items: such as, but not limited to toys, game pieces, garden tools etc., such that the items can be retained in place for storage or transport while in the bag configuration. The process of unfolding the bag to a mat is also easily accomplished without removing such items from the bag.
