I have five sets of diatonic and four sets of chromatic Boomwhackers®, and I keep them all in one big plastic bucket with rope handles. The bucket comes up to right below my knee and is a couple feet across. I think they come in at least blue and red. You can buy them at Home Depot for about $5, and they are also very easy to put in the car and handle.
This also is very neat, and because it is so colorful, brings some decoration to my tiny little room. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space which is nice. It is convenient when other teachers need to borrow them because they don't have to continually disturb my class. They are out all at once and one person or two small kids can carry them.
