“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.

TentAnonymous reviewerBrilliant our grandkids love it!
Ok but old Ikea design betterAnonymous reviewerMy children have enjoyed the tent for sure. But a few things bug me.
Beware that if you buy the matching tunnel it does not attach to the tent with the Velcro. It is just wedged in the hole.
Also I wish it was pop up style rather than poles but I guess that’s personal preference. The previous ikea tent which was pop up and attached the tunnel with the Velcro was much better.
Great little tentAnonymous reviewerLovely tent, easy to assemble and most importantly disassemble.
The tent is more robust than it appears.Anonymous reviewerThough quite robust the poles holders could be longer to ensure that they don’t come out.
cool for cats : )Anonymous reviewerBought this fr my 3 cats , brill fun for them.
Sturdy against claws & teeth while playing.
Great den for play & sleep (we put blankets inside )
Great tentAnonymous reviewerPop up tent. Good quality fabric and sturdy. The base material underneath is a wipe clean material which is good for using the tent outside. Kids like to roll around upside down in tent, and the tent has been ok.
Easy to assemble and has a zip carry bag to store tent, plastic pipes and manual. When I disassemble the tent, I was worried about bending the tent in half to fit the carry bag but it has strong internal bending pipe. Need patience to bend and hold tent in place to put carry bag on. I’ve had other branded pop up tents but the fabric and pipe quality was poor, and didn’t last long. I’m pleased I’ve brought this tent.
Toddler loves it!Anonymous reviewerIt arrives with a mesh bag and is easily stored away to be transported. We're thinking of using it at the beach.
I wish it was available in different colors as green doesn't match our interior.
Hours of funAnonymous reviewerFairly easy to put up, sturdy for the kids to play in
Great for kids Anonymous reviewerMy granddaughter absolutely love this it’s great inside or out hours of fun

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!
