Orange Stripe Playtent

Two moms have dreamed up the ultimate cozy nook for tea parties, games, reading, and all sorts of imaginary play. The Anderson play tent is 100% cotton in a print featuring giant pink and perwinkle blue poppies, with colorful stripes and hot pink trim, finished with apple green polka dotted grosgrain ribbon. Each tent comes fully assembled, bundled in a special storage tube, and is easily folded for storage in closet corners or under beds. Each play tent is custom made.
Important Note: When shopping for a play tent for your child, consider the materials used for its construction. Lucy & Michael play tents use sturdy cotton fabrics, and solid pine supports. Most others use flimsy plastic that can break easily. We've chosen to offer Lucy & Michael tee-pee style play tents because we believe they are the finest quality on the market, and we love their gorgeous fabric combinations.
