The carrying case has two foldable sides rotatably and removably hinged to its base by breakaway hinges featuring ball and socket portions. The other two sides of the carrying case remain in a vertical position attached to the base. A roof portion is connected to one of the foldable sides by breakaway hinges. The foldable sides and roof portion may be rotated to unfold the carrying case so that it may be used as toy playground. The roof portion has a built-in slide and swing. It may be removed from the carrying case and used as a separate toy. The carrying case may be folded to simulate a toy building or schoolhouse with a roof portion latched to the top of the case.
