LEGO DUPLO play and store box

Here is a birthday present for my first grandchild. It’s made from a KALLAX shelving unit (single cube) and a Branäs basket.

For the playing surface I glued a LEGO Duplo basic baseplate with the dimensions: 15 by 15 inches with double sided carpet tape on the top of the KALLAX piece.

The basket I filled with several Duplo Basic bricks with several colours. It’s just that simple.
