Play Tent

Here's today's project



A play tent for Pu and Nu


The tutorial at 2littlehooligans.blogspot.com suggested using bedsheets
I still had some of this IKEA material kicking around
And, I'm trying to de-hoard my fabric stash

As you can see, it's a little short.



A success nonetheless and a little tweaking will right it



Best part from the kid's perspective was the pocket
So I'll add a few more



I loved that once we were inside all the butterfly graphics were back lit by the sun


All luminous and cozy



Nature in &
Nature out


Yeah summer!

And when it rains this can move inside for a portable play palace.

  8. Gorgeous space! I love it and so would my kidlets! Nothing as fun as a secret hideout and obviously one with pockets too.
