Indoor Tents for Kids

Basic Tents

• One type of indoor tent for kids is the basic play tent. This tent can either be your standard military pup tent, a normal tent used for camping outdoors or a cartoon-themed playhouse tent. These are easy to assemble and last a long time if they are cared for and children play gently with them. Playhouse tents are meant for indoor use, so it's a good idea to avoid leaving them outside in bad weather.

Bed Tents

• The bed tent is an especially good choice for parents with limited space or who worry about a small child getting hurt in a regular indoor tent on the floor. Bed tents are smaller than normal play tents, and they usually stretch out over the top of the entire bed, giving the child the added advantage of comfortably sleeping in one. Bed tents can fit on regular and bunk beds.

Tunnel Tents

• Tunnel tents can be set up in any room and feature tunnels that kids can crawl through. The tunnels can be short or long, and they usually connect to a small dome for kids to play in. A tunnel tent provides extra fun for active children who like to explore, lasts a long time if stored well and is easy to assemble.

Special Tents

• Indoor tents for kids don't always look like an average tent. Some tents for kids can be castles, boats, trains and log houses, all inspiring a child's imagination. Like a basic play tent, these are usually easy to assemble, meant for indoor play and are mostly safe for kids to play in. These kinds of tents come in small and large sizes, feature favorite cartoon characters and can be found at most major toy stores.

Teepees

• Teepees can provide hours of fun for kids and offer educational opportunities to children interested in learning about Native American life. Teepees are easy to assemble and can be used for both indoor and outdoor play. A teepee can be a great decorative addition for your child's room.
