Dear Reader,
The nice thing about toddlers is that when they’re little, everything is an adventure. Including busting out a camping tool! we bought this little tent when my preschooler was little so we could go camping without worrying that our adventurous girl would wander off while we were all sleeping. It also came in handy on trips. And now, it makes a great play tent for a couple of adventurous little toddlers! As long as it stays fun, it’s useful, eh? Just don’t make it feel like they’re stuck there, because that totally changes the mood. It’s not fun if they feel like it’s not their choice. Grown ups are the same way.
Actually I was digging through the camping stuff when I found it and decided it would be fun. And the truth is, the preschooler still enjoys playing in it too, so it couldn’t have been that bad of a purchase.
If you want to check it out, you can still find it on amazon here. I am not an affiliate, so clicking on any links will give me a whole lotta nada. But that shouldn’t change your opinion. Do your own digging. And if you don’t wanna buy anything but still want to play with your toddler, it absolutely would work to just throw blankets onto a chair or something. Especially if you crawl under and play, which is kinda the point. Read a book, throw a few toys in, let toddlers learn through play – and you can’t go wrong.
