Kids Play Tent and Tunnel buying guide
A play tent kit kids can crawl through
Kids love a hideout. This 4-in-1 play tent kit gives them four pieces to crawl through, hide in and play with. Each kit has two tunnels, a ball pit and a separate room with a window.
You can join all four pieces into one long play route. Or set each piece up on its own. The gallery shows a few ways to put them together.
Single Kit or Pack of 2 kits
There are two options:
- Single Kit: one room, one ball pit, two tunnels and a carry bag
- Pack of 2 kits: two of the same kit, so you get two of every piece
The pack suits families with more than one child, or anyone who wants a longer route. You can also split the pack and set up one kit in each room.
What it is made of
The tent is soft polyester fabric over a flexible steel wire frame. The walls have breathable mesh panels. That means you can see inside while the kids play.
It is made for indoor and outdoor play. Set it up in the playroom on a rainy day, or take it out to the yard or park when the sun is out.
Balls are not included
The maker says the ball pit can hold up to 500 play balls. Balls do not come with the kit. Some gallery photos show balls and other toys, but they are there for styling only. If you want a ball pit, buy a bag of play balls on their own.
Setting it up and packing it away
Each piece springs open when you take it out of the bag. The maker gives a clear warning here. The frame opens with some force. Hold each piece away from your face and keep children back while you open it.
To pack up, fold each piece down along its frame and slip it into the zip carry bag. The packed parcel is about 43.4 x 34.3 x 8.8 cm, so it fits on a shelf or in a closet.
Ideas for play
- crawl races through the tunnels
- a reading nook in the room with a window
- pretend camping in the living room
- a ball pit, once you add your own balls
- dress up and act out a story with friends
Good habits
Set the tent up on a flat, clear spot away from stairs and sharp corners. Always stay with young children while they play in the tent and tunnels. After outdoor play, shake out any dirt and let the fabric dry before you fold it away.
What you get
The Single Kit has two tunnels, a ball pit, a room with a window and a zip carry bag. The Pack of 2 kits has two of each. Balls are not included. If you have a question about the kit, contact us before you order and we will help.
Plan your space first
Lay out where each piece will go before you open it. Pick a flat, clear spot with room for the tunnels to stretch out. If you buy the Pack of 2 kits, you can build one long route or split it between two rooms.
