Scrunch Buckets

The picture above does not show the nicest feature of Scrunch Buckets, which is that they live up to their name. You can fold them, roll them, scrunch them up as much as you like, and because they are made of silicone, they will always pop back into shape. In short, they're the ideal bucket for the kind of child who likes to cram things into his pocket and think about the consequences later.

Clearly they could be put to good use during the summer, in paddling pools, at the beach and in the sandpit, but they make nifty little storage containers for indoors, too. Available through Educational Toys, and several other outlets.
