We've had it since my middle one was about 3 and she's 8 now and still enjoys it with the 3 year old. It's great because it twists and folds flat, so you can put it away in a closet or under a bed. Here's the new version for 20 bucks at Toys R Us. (And, it will look great opened up in your living room on Christmas morning!!)<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3633194Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806427125111306975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-33362232469408615862009-11-17T11:53:47.322-05:002009-11-17T11:53:47.322-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806427125111306975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-86100399878136126552009-11-17T10:56:29.354-05:002009-11-17T10:56:29.354-05:00dad,

I, too, loved anything to do with tents when I was a kid - whether they be actual tents, or homemade jobs with a sheet and any heavy object I could find to secure it to random pieces of furniture. One year I even convinced my mama to buy me those tents that you attach to the top of a twin mattress. Like these: http://www.tinkertots.com/bedtents.html ... Boy, how I had a ball in my own little hide-away! I don't know if Miss M has a twin bed or not, but if she does, that might be a space-effective way to provide her with a little castle on a more permanent basis. As always, great to read your blog :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-67692631035434845972009-11-16T15:37:48.938-05:002009-11-16T15:37:48.938-05:00What a great castle idea you came up with!

I totally remember being a kid, just stretching a blanket out between some chairs, and crawling under it, we would imagine ourselves in a desert tent, part of a caravan. Kids have great imaginations.

I bought my daughter a Barbie tent at a garage sale and she takes all her toys, our dog, anything she can fit in there and spends hours!

(We live in a much "cozier" space than we had previously, and much cozier than the homes of my kids' friends - and it doesn't matter to them. To <i>me</i> at times (parental guilt among other things) - but really, to them, it's all about feeling at home.)<br /><br />BigLittleWolfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
