Best play tents for kids

These are our top choice play tents, including some of the most popular play tents and houses for kids:

Play tents really capture the imagination of children. There's just something special about having their own play house, and play tents these days come in so many varieties and designs to appeal to all children, what child wouldn't love their own special play garage, play castle, or play shop!

Play Tunnels

Play tunnels can simply be a bright colourful tunnel for kids to crawl through, in, out and round...But there are also play tunnels which are like an extended play tent, with interlinking tunnels and tent areas, offering even more scope for imagination and adventure!

Character Play Tents

There are so many popular kids TV and film characters these days, with all the toys and books to match. Play tents are no different. If your child loves Disney Princess, In the Night garden, Bob the Builder, Roary the Racing Car, Thomas the Tank Engine, Barbie or Dora the Explorer, then they are sure to love their very own play tent from their favourite character.

Outdoor and Indoor Tents

One of the great benefits of a play tent is that (space permitting) they can easily be assembled indoors or outdoors. We're not talking tent ropes and tent pegs here. These little play tents are easy to put up and take down (most just hang from a simple frame) so it doesn't matter if you want to play indoors or out - just take the tent with you.

Pop Up Tents

The Pop Up play tents are so easy to put up, as the name suggests. These are such a great little invention, perfect for playing indoors or outdoors, and make it very easy to clear up the room once play time is over. Plus, if the sun is shining, get them outside in the fresh air, pop up the tent, and there they can play happily for hours.

Role Play and Play Tents

Role play is so important in a child's development, and a play tent or house based on a shop, school, garage or castle can really inspire and capture their imagination. See our choice of role play tents here.

Play Houses, Wendy House and Play Cottages

Toy designers and manufacturers are so inventive, and now there are so many styles of play tents they have started calling them play houses or play cottages, and of course they still come under the old fashioned name of Wendy House. But all of these toys are basically play tents, and offer the same scope for fun and imaginative play for kids. And because they are tents, they can be taken down and put away, so as not to fill the whole room. Not all the time anyway! And needless to say, if the sun is shining, then any play house or cottage can easily be taken outside for some play in the fresh air.
