“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.

Review of small tentKennethWish it was waterproof or water resistant, will need to treat. Has too many openings, wish it did not have the two small ones.
Kids Love ItLisaOur kids love this and its very durable however it’s not the easiest to put together so I haven’t taken it down
A little DangerousRobiThe frame of the tent easily comes out of the tent sleeves, making it a little dangerous for toddlers.
Affordable, playfulBarbaraNice mini tent for toddlers, attractive bright colors and of course, simple design
Pop Up TentCatherineWe used these for reading tents. The kids love them. They are easy to assemble, easy to tae apart, and easy to store away.
Cute DianeI had to decide between this and the other pop up tent. My child likes it and has fun in there. Don’t expect to get in there too easily though if you’re playing with your child. The only thing that is worrisome about the item is that the flexible part that goes in the little sleeves, the ends are not dull which if a child can pull it out of the sleeves then can get hurt.
Perfect for my catsMaribelBrought this for my cats, I connected a tunnel I also bought and it makes playtime so much more fun!
Toddler tentSusanSimply adorable. Bought this and the tunnel. Well made. True value for money.
Fun tentAnonymous reviewerMy grandson loves this tent and so does his dog who we often find sleeping in it! Perfect size for a toddler pre-school age.

Strong for lots of fun JayBought this for our toddler and he’s carried it everywhere in the house. He tumbles inside, and flips it upside down and sits on it- we are amazed it has held up!
Easy to use and the child loves it.SusanGreat fun for child
FUN and easy to assembleCynthiaGreat little hideaway for the kids! Easy to assemble. Durable. Great for hanging out with stuffed animals, dolls, and a good book!
my sons like it very muchJinnymy son's favorite house.
For dogMimiI bought it for English Bldog, and the size is generous.
Flame retardantsChristinaThis item contains flame retardants. No where on the item description does it provide that information, found out by the product tag when it arrived. Now I have to pay return shipping since I don't want it and I don't live near an Ikea, just spend 30 mins on the phone with a rep and I have to make 2 more calls to make that happen. Play tunnels and tents exist without toxic chemical coatings (lovevry, luna etc)
Not Just For Kids...SydneeDid I get this for my cat?
Maybe.
Does he love it?
Yes.
Kids love!!KayThus tent is awesome snd kids love the adventure of going and exploring.

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, they 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!
