“Studies have shown that movement enhances the mental well-being and is positive for certain cognitive functions. Furthermore, the amount of physical activity we get as children also affects our habits and health later in life. So, what is the right amount of movement? The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children between ages 5 and 17 should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. In addition, a couple of times a week, it’s good to do more high-intensity training that increases the heart rate for a longer period of time.

Children's play rentMaryGreat tent, kids love the windows to peep out.
To store you do have to dismantle the tent from the rods.
Great value for money
GoodMaryGreat fun for Grandies. Add in some plastic coloured balls and becomes a ball pit too!
Purchased with DVARGMAS tunnel, a great combination for .SusanTent and tunnel provide a lot of fun, can be used together or separately. Both are easy to pack away and compact to store.
Would be helpful to be able to attach the tunnel to the tent.
Small sized tent DivyaMy 3 yr olds favorite hiding spot ... easy to fold
Mine for cats not kidsKathleenI had an older cube shaped version of this, and it was actually easier to store and erect. But this is still very practical and the cats love pouncing in and out of the holes, and napping in it on the deck.

Best Xmas giftStaceyMy one year old loves this!! Great size and easy to assemble.
it is perfectSibelcanit is perfect
My dog loves itJI bought it for my dog. He loves it. He will run through it as since I put a mat on the bottom he will sleep in it as well.
It was easy to put together and so far he hasn’t destroyed it despite trying. I have the tunnel attachment and they go together great. I would recommend this to pet parents as well as human parents.

Lots of funWendyThis is lots of fun for our Grandsons. They are 5 & 2 years old and love playing in it in those wet weather days inside. Really compact after usage to put away if your limited for space too.
Not as good as the originalJulieBought this as a replacement for the original I had given away. This is nowhere near as good, the square one could be folded in seconds and had Velcro to hold the tunnel in place, this one takes longer to set up and put away and no longer has the Velcro so the tunnel just keep falling out. Please bring back the original one.
My kids loved it, especiallyJamesMy kids loved it, especially crawling in & out of the tube attachment.

Story
Pep for more movement
At Children’s IKEA, we want to inspire to an active everyday – with more room for jumping, running, fun and games. Because the fact is, studies show that physical activity both plays a big role in children’s well-being and is an investment in the future.
Maria Ekblom, Associate Professor at Swedish School of Sports and Health Sciences, researches how physical activity affects children. “We know for sure that the right amount of movement has a positive effect on children’s physical condition, muscle strength, cardiovascular health as well as blood pressure and blood sugar.”
The whole body likes to move
Find the pulse in the everyday life
Maria has tips on how to find the time and energy for regular exercise in everyday life. “If it’s possible, walking or riding a bike to and from school is a great opportunity for everyday exercise. Just like meeting friends and playing outside in a safe environment.” Younger children often have a natural appetite for physical activity, but they might need some encouragement to get going when they get older, says Maria. “I think it’s important to give children the opportunity to do sports or other activities that are age-appropriate and match their interests. Then, if they really like what they’re doing, it’s easier to make it a good habit that lasts.”
Material
What is recycled polyester?
When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles and other sources of polyester get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.
Function solution
Moving develops the entire body
Children around the world love to jump and do somersaults, completely unaware that they are training their motor skills at the same time. Going through an obstacle course, playing with a ball or even crawling through a narrow tunnel helps develop the child's sensory system, especially their coordination and balance. Moving is important for both children and adults so that we feel good – for our entire lives.
Form design process
Created together with children
Children are the most important people in the world and we’re curious to hear what they have to say since we create products for them! Therefore, we invite children to creative and playful sessions where they get to participate in our product development. Here they can express themselves freely and draw, show or tell us what is important to them. Their opinions matter and make our products better. After all, they’re the experts!
