When I was a kid, play forts consisted of pillows and blankets and a lot of imagination.  I'm looking forward to introducing this childhood tradition to M as she gets older, but how nice would it be for a child to also have a cozy hideaway in the house that doesn’t have to be dismantled before visitors arrive?  For years I have been waiting for the day when I finally had a reason to get a play teepee for the house, and now that we have a child I can’t think of a better first birthday present.  Not only are these aesthetically pleasing styles perfect to tuck into the corner of any room in the house, they are perfect for quickly tucking toys away and out of sight before those visitors arrive.
