Reminds me of something I made for my son. I took a piece of canvas roughly 24 X 36 or maybe 30 X 48 hemmed. On the 36 side I put some handles straddling the center of each side - then I put a loop on one side and a big old button on the other side - between the handles. Lay it out flat for him to play with little toys. When ready to put it all away, you fold the sides in thirds then grab the handles and hang it up. I bet that stuff would work great for that. I should do a tutorial.
