Portable sandbox

A portable sandbox comprising:

• a fabric-like sheet;
• an endless wall having a bottom edge thereof fixed along a perimeter of said sheet, corresponding distances across vertically spaced parallel planes passing through said wall being substantially equal to the corresponding distance across said sheet whereby said wall stands in substantially vertical relation to said sheet when said sheet is spread in a substantially flat horizontal condition, said wall having vertical folds intervally disposed therein whereby said wall collapses when said sheet is gathered out of said substantially flat horizontal condition;
• and
• gathering means disposed substantially along the length of a continuous path on an upper surface of said sheet and inwardly of said perimeter for drawing said continuous path toward confluence.
