Indoor Camping

We bought this tent from Ikea for the children. They have read stories about camping and sleeping out but they have not experience it before. So when I saw them playing with this tent in Ikea, I decided to buy it. It was not expensive, only $12.90. But the down side is that, it takes up quite a bit a space and can get pretty hot inside. It is big, able to contain a mattress, the size of a playpen and with some more space left. The two of them threw in their blankets and toys and had a whale of a time. To beat the heat, I switched on the aircon (when they're in the bedroom) or the fan (when they're in the living room). They pretended to be camping outdoor, living in an igloo and also role-playing 'The 3 Little Pigs'. Definitely another good item for imaginery play :)
