“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 is good to do more high-intensity training that increases the heart rate for a longer period of time.

Ratings and reviews
My dog loves itJackieI bought this a few years ago as an indoor sleeping place for my 20-lb. dog. I put a doughnut pet bed inside. Between the bed and the tent, it's a perfect retreat during thunderstorms or any time my dog wants to be near people but in a protected personal space. Better than anything from a pet store and cheaper, too.
Doesn’t hold together KristenWe bought this for our little guys first birthday, and sadly it’s no good. The poles don’t stay in the pockets, they just pop out when he’s going in or out. We had the previous version from 7 years ago and it’s still going strong and more sturdy than this one with its flexible tubing. Do not buy this it will not hold, there also isn’t even Velcro strips on the inside for the tunnel to connect to. Super disappointed.
Great fun for a toddler visiting grand parentsDawnFun!
Big hit with the little ones!JenniferI bought this kids tent along with the tube. The 2 year olds loved it…they immediately started dropping balls through the top hole and crawled in/out the tent. It was very easy to assemble as well and it packs away for travel and storage. Definitely recommend!
Cute and AdorableSylviePerfect for my needs. It enhances the area I put it in.
Excellent. Easy to set up. Fun.ChristineGreat.
Fun little hideout for toddlerAshleyEasy to put together, doesnt take up a lot of room, and a cute fun space for a toddler. I can poke my head in and read some books. Fit two toddlers comfortably
My toddler loves itLaraMy 18 month old loves plying in this tent with our cat. She loves the tunnel that goes with it even more.
TentTimothyGreat for my grandson. Love it.
Ok we bought this forAndreaOk we bought this for our cats even though it’s a kid tent. One of my cat is a big boy, the cat houses are just too small. Both cats absolutely love this tent. It was the best $20.00 we spent.
Great play toyIshanToddler will love it. Easy to assemble and good size
Portable and perfect for 18+ monthsJanetI picked this up since other tents took up so much space when kids aren’t playing with. This is light, folds up nicely and easy for transport when visiting friends and family. The material is good and for the price, you won’t be able to find something like this anywhere else!
Works fine, son often getsAnonymous reviewerWorks fine, son often gets stuck on the lip going in an out (8m) but I’m sure as he gets bigger and uses it more he’ll get used to it
So cute! Bought for ourAnonymous reviewerSo cute! Bought for our granddaughter and she loved it!❤️
“Start the car!!”BrittBest $20 I’ve ever spent on a children’s toy. Our toddler LOVES this thing!! He crawls in and out of all the holes, tosses and passes toys, lays in it, dances in it, plays cars in it.. the list goes on. We have a small play area but this little tent is worth the space and the price is unbeatable. Hours of fun!!

Story
Pep for more movement
At Children’s IKEA, we want to inspire 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, research 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 everyday life
Maria has tips on how to find the time and energy for regular exercise in everyday life. “If it is 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 are doing, it’s easier to make it a good habit that lasts.”
Material
What is recycled polyester?
We want to have a positive impact on the planet. One way is to make products from recycled polyester. When we do, PET bottles and other sources of polyester get a new life in 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 saving on 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!
