A toy box includes a lid pivotally attached to a base so as to define an internal cavity which can store one or more toys therein. An audio box is disposed within the cavity for transmitting pre-recorded audio messages through a speaker which encourages the placement of toys within the cavity. A sensor is electronically connected to the audio box for activating the audio box upon a predetermined event, such as the detection of light by the opening of the lid, or placement of toys within the cavity.
