Fun Tent!!!

 

I have been wanting to get little missie a pop up tent to play in for awhile, so eagerly snapped this up when I saw it. I knew she would love it, though I wasn't sure how she would react to it initially until we showed her it is nothing to be scared of. (She is almost 2, so unsure of many things still, but very curious overall.)   It comes in a small zippered case that holds it nicely. The size of the case is deceptive. It is quite a bit larger than I expected, but I am so happy with the size. When you take it out, it quickly unfolds to the full diameter. There are tent poles in it that you put together and then put inside the tent to hold it upright. There are small pockets in the very top of the inside of the tent that the ends slide in to, as well as small pockets at the bottom. There is a bend in the tent poles that lines up with the side of the tent where you use ties inside to hold them in place. We did find that if these came untied, the pole would rotate in and make that side flimsy. But keeping them tied made it stay upright and in place.   The door can be rolled up and tied open (which is how we have used it) or you can close it and secure it at the bottom with velcro pieces that are already attached to both tent and door. There are mesh windows in it to allow for air flow as well as easy views from inside or out.   I found it amusing that while the baby was still down for her nap and had not yet seen it, the dog decided it was a perfect home for him. He walked a million circles in it and then laid down for a nap until she got up. She was slow to get inside and it took some coaxing, but any time the dog, my husband, or one of my kids goes in it with her, she eagerly goes in. She likes to hide her books and sippees in there when she is not using them.   There has only been one time she toppled it by leaning against the walls. Since then she hasn't done it again (she scared herself when it fell over sideways with her on the inside). The dog has also turned it over once or twice, and he actually tore a small hole in the top of it as he freaked out trying to get out. So be aware that it is not good to leave outside if it is breezy since there are no ways to stake it down. We have only used it inside since it is already too hot to use outside. It has been set up in our living room for a week now as she played in it. I took it down today finally, folded it back up to fit back in the smaller bag, and collapsed the poles to put away. I figure it will get set up again for 4th of July for her and my nephew to play in (I am actually considering putting a small kiddie pool inside of it for them on the patio while the big kids play in the built in pool) and after that will go in her room for her to play in.   Definitely a great purchase for little missie. We got the pink castle and she loves it. She has played in it a lot. Our dog has also made good use of it for napping. I am not sure what his fascination is with it though. But I am super happy with this and excited to have it for her to play in.   #RankBoosterReview #sponsored #RapidlyBoy #castle #tent #kidstent #castletent #princesstent #princess #girlstent #girlytent #cutetent #playtent
