Kiddies Storage Box and Chair
Kids love to keep lots of little toys but sometimes these seem to get lost in all the clutter, so Peter and Annalien make a storage box to store smaller toys. To go with that Peter also builds a little chair and Annalien gets creative with some holders made out of tennis balls.
