Kids Play Tent Large Playhouse Children Play Castle Fairy Tent Gift with Mat

I purchased this for my 4 month old puppy to cover his crate. It is way bigger than what I envisioned but it’s perfect. He loves it and it’s beautiful. We are very happy with it. My other 2 dogs are jealous so I am planning to buy them both one.

I love this tent!! I had purchased another brand of tent for my 2.5 year old to play in, but I ended up returning it and purchasing this tent instead. I am so glad I did! For one thing, the wood frame makes this tent feel MUCH sturdier. I also love the Velcro (as opposed to a zipper, which the other one had). The Velcro did make it a little more difficult to assemble, it would have helped if the directions had been more clear about which part to put on the frame first. Overall though I am glad it has Velcro because it makes for a more snug fit for the fabric. Finally, I LOVE this this one comes with a mat. The other one didn’t have any mat or anything and I searched high and low for something to put down on the floor. I also like that the netting in front is permanently attached to the rest of the fabric. The other tent did not have that, and plus, the netting was way too long. This tent is also slightly wider, which is nice. It’s a big tent, big enough that my son and I can comfortably fit in it together. I tried to get better pictures of the inside but oh well. One last thing about the first tent I got was that my son was actually kind of scared of the characters printed on the fabric. He said the astronauts looked like robots and he was too afraid to sleep it in. This plain blue is much better and now he actually will sleep in it! Seems silly to us adults but for my two year old, it was a deal breaker. So, for all these reasons, I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. I am glad I spent the extra $20 to get the nicer tent. I should have just bought this one to begin with, but you live and you learn. It may seem like a lot of a tent, but it’s definitely worth it in my opinion. The only real downside to this purchase was how long it took to arrive. When I first ordered it, it said it was going to take an entire week to get here. Annoying, but whatever, not that big of a deal. Then it ended up being 2 days late, which wouldn’t have been so bad, except that meant it was coming on the weekend. I live in a locked building, so I purposely avoid having anything sent here on the weekend because delivery people can’t get it in. I ended up waiting outside for the UPS guy for an hour so I didn’t miss the delivery. It was still worth it though. I ended up buying some zip ties and a string of lights with a remote. I strung up lights on the inside of the tent and secured them to the frame with the zip ties. I think this will be fun for years to come. For anyone asking if a crib mattress will fit: see my pictures. It does fit pretty well. The end sticks out a little but it’s not a big deal. I had the standard size (for the US anyway) crib mattress that I moved from the crib to the tent (with room to spare). I plan on using this as my sons bed for when my mother comes to visit (since we only have two bedrooms, she usually takes the twin bed and my son was in his crib, but now that he’s in the twin bed, this is my back up sleeping arrangement).

Setting up this play tent was quite straightforward. The instructions were clear, and it only took me about 20 minutes to have everything ready for my kids. I appreciated that no extra tools were needed, making it hassle-free!

After several months of use, this play tent has truly proven its durability. The solid wood frame has held up well against my kids’ enthusiastic play, making it a worthwhile investment for long-term fun.

The breathable windows on this play tent are a fantastic feature. They allow for airflow, making it comfortable for my kids to play inside for extended periods without feeling stuffy. This thoughtful design consideration truly enhances their play experience.
