A kids teepee can be an indoor or outdoor playhouse. You can make your own teepee and create any style you want. Or you can buy one, as they are available in many colors and designs. Get one or create your own in black and red with a skull image and you have a pirate teepee. For a little girl, create a teepee with yards of soft, pretty fabric. Here's how to make your own teepee.
A kids teepee that you buy ready-made is portable. Just close it up and take it over to Grandma's house so your kids have a place to play during their visit. Take it along when your family goes camping. Your children will have their own teepee play tent set up next to your tent or RV where they too can "camp."
Set up a kids teepee in your backyard. Add outdoor toys, like kids camping gear, kid flashlights, binoculars and a pretend camp stove, and your kids can camp out in the backyard where you can keep an eye on them.
Whether it's for girls or boys, a kids teepee gives kids their own space. This page will provide you with photos, how-to tips and much more.

Kids Outdoor Teepees: Summer Fun
A kids teepee can be a cozy place. Kids will decorate the inside with things that interest them. A few fluffy pillows, a rug and a book are all some need to spend the day in delight. Little girls may want to have a tea party in their teepee, complete with stuffed animals and a dainty tea set. Little boys may want to play pirate or cowboys and Indians, and they'll have costumes and props to make them feel like Blackbeard or Crazy Horse.
Nylon or canvas teepees are water resistant. If your outdoor kids teepee is made of quilts, gauze or any other fabric, you'll want to make sure to bring it in if it rains. And the fabric you use to make your teepee should be washable so it can look fresh again if it gets dirty.

Kids Indoor Teepees: Snuggly Fun
Whether in a bedroom, nursery, office, or basement, the indoor kids teepee offers hours of fun. Your little ones may even nap inside their teepee. Filled with soft pillows and favorite stuffed animals, a teepee is a place for them to curl up. They can play quietly in your office as you keep an eye on them. Even toddlers enjoy playing in a kids teepee.
A kids teepee can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. A little girl's feminine bedroom is the perfect place for a teepee fit for a princess, a teepee made of lush fabric in pretty pastels. It's a great place for a pretend tea party, too, so set up a tiny table and chairs inside for her "guests." Your kids can enjoy reading and drawing in their cozy little space... and maybe even doing homework won't seem so bad when it's done in a kids teepee!

Camp Outside in a Kids Teepee
Your kids may want to camp outside in the teepee. If they camp in the backyard, you can keep an eye on them and yet they can feel independent. Give them their own camping gear and they will have a great time!Another great idea is to take their outdoor teepee tent along when your family goes camping. You set up your own tent or park your RV, and your kids can set up their teepee next to it. They'll have a place to play and give mom and dad a breather, too.

Make Your Own Kids Teepee
If you are an experienced seamstress, you are probably able to create a teepee by figuring out how each panel of fabric should be measured, cut and sewn together. But if you are more comfortable following a pattern, there are sewing patterns that will guide you in making a kids teepee.
By making your own teepee, you and your child can pick out the material together, choosing something just right for that child. You can even make a teepee using sheets, which are available in many colors and patterns. Perhaps you'll want to add a border of a different pattern along the bottom of your teepee. The only other thing you'll need are poles, usually PVC pipes tall enough for the overall height of the teepee. And while you're choosing fabric for the teepee tent, think about getting enough fabric to make complementary pillows, cushions and flooring... maybe even a little welcome mat!
And don't forget your furry friends! Cats love to crawl into boxes, and making a teepee for your pet gives them a place they feel safe in. Find some cute animal-print fabric suitable for your pet and they will have their own unique teepee, too.

- Very nice, I may make one for my kids and I think they will definitely like it since they like to use the blanket to make a shelter like tent on the bed.
