Imagination is a great learning tool for kids and by giving your children a kids play tentyou are providing a great backdrop for countless hours of fun and adventure. You can get a tent shaped like a castle and they can be king or queen or princess especially if you team it up with a great little costume.

Is your child an aspiring astronaut? If they are they will love this kids play tent where they can travel the universe and boldly go where no man has gone before. You can also join in the fun as the space alien. And it's affordable. For around about $35 and no batteries required you can't go wrong!

With so many designs you shouldn't have any problems finding one that your child can get excited about. There are cowboy tents, race car tents, monster tents, princess tents, you name it, if your child is into it then there is a tent to suit .

You'll find that most kids pop up tents are made for indoors, but that shouldn't stop you from taking it outside for a garden party or just to relax in the shade under a tree with a book.

 Having a sleepover? Pop up the tent in the lounge room and throw in some pillows, a couple of torches and books for bedtime stories, and you've got some very happy little children to drift off to sleep. And how much fun would it be too wake up in the tent! Tents are available that have a blow up air mattress as the base. This sort of tent would make a sleepover even more fun.

If you're buying a specially shaped kids play tent you'll find that they are quick and easy to assemble. Most good quality ones will have color-coded frames and fiberglass or spring steel poles with a protective coating.

Make sure you look at the size of the room you intend to assemble the tent, and whether it will be a permanent little fixture in the bedroom or simply a toy to bring out now and again in the lounge room and also check the size of the tent you intend to get to ensure it fits. A few tents may appear smallish but once built may be quite large, especially if you get ones with tunnels!

You could find if you skimp on price you could be skimping on quality of fabric which in turn will lead to the tent not lasting too long as it will fray where the joins or rods are.

One more point to remember while looking for a kids play tent for your youngster is their height - will they fit into it? They aren't required to stand up, tents are excellent with a number of cushions or even beanbags inside to lie down on, but if you're choosing one for overnight parties you might want to make certain it's wide enough that they can lay in without having their legs sticking out! However, that may be fun as well!

Kids play tents are so easy, especially the pop-up versions, that the kids are capable of doing it themselves! Watch 5 year old Lily assemble her own personal kids play tent in just a few minutes:

Lily's play tent has poles, but if you have a pop-up, it can be much faster and easier. It's also a quick and easy clean up and fold away, but this is a little bit trickier in the folding them away and as Lily says it's easier now since she's done it "heaps of times" - So don't get rid of your instructions! 

Kids Play Tent For The Beach

If you and your family are regular beach goers you know there is never much shade available at the beach.

With a pop up shade tent you can take your shade with you and your kids can have fun all day playing in the sand and staying out of the direct rays of the sun.

You can always use them wherever you go. If you take your kids to the playground it's a good place for them to have a rest in between bouts of playing. It's also very handy for picnics for keeping your kids or your food out of the sun.

All of these kids play tents pop up in seconds and have a convenient carry bag for easy portability.

The shade shack has a zinc coated polyester material for maximum sun protection rated at 30+. This means it blocks over 96% of the suns harmful rays.

Pockets to the side of the tent are easily filled with sand to give weight to the tent so it doesn't blow away in the wind.

When you get one of these tents specifically for the beach it's probably a good idea to get one that doesn't have a floor. This way your children can sit and build sand castles to their hearts content while they are in the shade. Perfect.
