A Space of My Own: 8 Instant Tent Ideas for PreSchoolers

Uncategorized 8 Comments

All kids love having a little enclosed space that they can call their own. It could be a tent,  or a playhouse,  or anything similar that no one can enter, but her.  If you have a tent, summer is a good time to set it up in the yard. If not, simply

  1. Throw a sheet over your clothesline, and hold it down with bricks on either side.
  2. Pull the sofa in front, and throw cushions on the floor between the sofa and wall.
  3. Cover a card table with an old sheet, and cut out holes for windows.  Use marker pens to make brick designs for “walls.”
  4. Throw a blanket between two chairs.
  5. Use pillows and cushions to build a fort for her inside the house.
  6. If you have a bunk bed, throw a sheet in front of the lower bed.
  7. Throw a large sheet over the dining table.
  8. Make a playhouse by using a large old carton or cardboard box.  Check out Idea No. 9 here.

Use cushions and pillows to accessorize the little playhouse.  Remember, a secret getaway needs a secret password or a secret handshake for all those who enter.
