Product Description

Editorial Review

Standing 7 feet tall, this authentic-looking teepee makes a dramatic play landscape for children. The ceiling is 5 feet high, so young children can stand and maneuver with ease inside. Made of durable fire-resistant cotton canvas and sturdy hardwood poles, the teepee is made to withstand rough-and-tumble play. Because it has such generous floor space (72 inches in width), children can bring in small playhouse furniture or have outdoor sleepovers (when the weather is good, because the fabric isn't waterproof). And the cone-like structure is perfect for a summer fort. Families with a large playroom or a basement can set up this teepee as a permanent fixture. Assembly is easy, but adult supervision is required because of the size and weight of the materials. --Gail Hudson

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than any plastic fort !, October 8, 2000

This review is from: 7.5-Foot Plains Hideaway Tee Pee with Paints and Brush (Toy)

We bought the tepee because we were sick of looking at all the bright plastic toys in the house. We have three boys who love it, ranging in age from 3-9. Everytime someone under 12 enters our house they head for the tepee. It is always a conversation piece for the adults. My three year old "sneaks" in to take a break from his brothers and catch a nap. This has been one thing we haven't regretted.

This review is from: 7.5-Foot Plains Hideaway Tee Pee with Paints and Brush (Toy)

When I first looked at this tent, I thought about how much fun it might be for my grand daughter, then I considered the price. Well, it turns out it was well worth the money. All of my grandchildren and the neighborhood children love it. My grand daughter decided to bring it inside for awhile, set it up in her room and now she sleeps in it every night! It was a good choice.

This review is from: 7.5-Foot Plains Hideaway Tee Pee with Paints and Brush (Toy)

Our family has bee tipi camping for many years. We became involved during our son's boy scout years. We attended many powwow's and our kids partisipated in the Native American dance and in creating dance outfits. The kids are now grown up, and it was our desire to somehow share this with our grand kids who live 600 or so miles away. So, we sent them, (boy age 4 and girl age 7), this tipi for christmas and they are just crazy about it. It is not exactly authentic but still very nice quality, especially for a toy. It is also large enough that I expect they will enjoy for a long time.
