Tepee, tipi or teepee? However you like to spell it, if you're anticipating restless kids this bank holiday weekend, it's the solution. Be it indoors or in the garden, a tepee creates a space for imagination and keeps little heads occupied for hours. We've rounded up our favourites.
This pretty Flowers and Butterfly tepee (£59.99, Lakeland) is fit for a princess. It comes with wooden poles making it sturdy and stylish and includes a hook and loop door mechanism should your little one wish to play in peace.
If they've got a sweet tooth, they'll love the Sweet Dreams tepee from Little Campers at Harrods (£199). It's 100 per cent waterproof, so kids can build a little den in the garden and keep occupied come rain or shine.
We love a pop of colour and pattern, so this Play tepee from KidKraft (£69.99, Fun Time Toy Company) is ideal. It will fit into any contemporary bedroom scheme or stand out as a garden centrepiece, as well provide a fun play space.
Something to please both boys and girls, the Hideout wigwam (£60, Great Little Trading Company) has a cute animal/Wild West theme that's set to get young imaginations running riot.
The Top of the Pops tent by Field Candy (£145, notonthehighstreet) has a Lichtenstein vibe and can be personalised with your little one's name to feel extra-special. It's bound to make a statement.
If they're just about crawling, this is the perfect in-betweener, fitting elegantly into a nursery. The grey and white stripe (approx £80) is just one of the colour schemes available from Ashley Gabby at Etsy.
Boho and beautiful, this tepee in Mint from Bodie and Fou (approx £170) is made from dyed vintage fabric with wood poles and feathers to decorate. Add a few folksy printed cushions and some of their favourite toys and you've got a den to die for!
