Teepees to the Rescue! Why Every Child Loves a Little Hideaway

Spending as little as AED 100 could support your child's wellbeing and development.

How? A simple teepee! ⛺

Do You Remember? 🏕️

I'm sure you remember, when you were little, making a house out of a sheet, a blanket and a clothes horse, just to have a special space for yourself.

I used to find all sorts of quirky places to create an imaginary world in as a child!

Teepees are hugely popular with children for the same reason. They're a place to retreat, hide, play or read. A magical space where your child feels safe, surrounded by the things they love, where they can spend hours playing or reading.

And they go up in seconds, and pack away easily.

Why I Love Them 💛

• Unstructured play. Hide, tell secrets, play a game, make shadow puppets, or snuggle down for a story.
• A little magic. Every now and then, hide a fun surprise inside.
• A calm space. A comfy, private spot for a child who needs a breather, or time to think things through.
• Tidy storage. Books and toys can be kept neatly inside, out of sight.
• Parties! You can even hire a company to set up a teepee sleepover party, here in the UAE.

My Bedtime Secret 🌙

When I work with families on sleep, I often suggest building the teepee into the bedtime routine.

Have your snuggle and story in the teepee, before your child gets into bed.

Snuggling in bed can be tempting for us as parents, ha ha. But it's easy to stay too long, and then your child gets used to you lying with them until they fall asleep.

Teepee snuggles first, then into bed. Teepees to the rescue!
