If you are shopping for a gift to encourage active play for young children, there is no better choice than a play tent or tunnel. Far better than an action figure, a remote controlled vehicle, or yet another doll, a play tent will not be cast aside after a few hours. For young children, there is no gift that better fires the imagination, brings down gender barriers, and promotes active play than a play tent.
What exactly is a play tent? There are many versions on the market, but most are constructed of a durable synthetic fabric shaped by a flexible wire structure that pops up into the unit’s final shape. The basic shape is frequently a cube or dome, which will have multiple openings for kids to crawl through. The openings may be flap-doors, portholes, windows, or hatches.
The tents are collapsible and rugged. They will simply fold over if a child falls against them, so they are very safe for even small children. They have numerous openings so airflow is not a concern. They are normally constructed of a durable polyester fabric sewn over a wire skeleton that can stand up to years of heavy use.
When not in use, the play tents fold up into a flat storage bag, much the same as certain auto sun shields. For this reason, they are easily transportable, and can be taken on play dates, on vacation, or to sleepovers with ease. They are durable enough to use in the yard, although they should not be left out in inclement weather.
The tents are frequently printed with a theme, such as space travel or safari, or with familiar characters such as movie princesses or action heroes. Regardless of the theme, children of many ages are drawn to play tents. It is not uncommon to see a co-ed group of children from 2 to 10 all diving in and out of a play tent for hours on end.
Many play tents come with attached tunnels or the option to purchase tunnels as an add-on. Tunnels encourage active play and add to the fantasy scenarios that children can invent when using their play tents.
Since play tents are essentially little portable playhouses, they provide children with their own private play space in which their imaginations can run free. A play tent or tunnel is one of the most thoughtful and practical gifts you can give, and you can be sure that it will be the foundation of many hours of active play.
