This excellent tent set is ideal for playing in the garden during the warm, summer months......what's that? Oh sorry, I meant warm summer weeks...um, days....?

Yes, I know ~ we haven't exactly had the bestest of weather yet this year but, on the odd occasion when the sun does decide to show its shameful face, these are great for setting up in the back garden.

The set consists of a small pop-up tent, a tunnel and a cylinder held upright by a set of three poles that slide down the sides of the cylinder, keeping its shape. My daughter loves these and always insists we get them out after Nursery when the weather is nice so that she can eat her lunch out in the garden in them. All three parts fit loosely together creating a combination play-set that your child can climb through. My daughter especially insists that nobody enters her tent through the main entrance, they have to climb through the tunnel first which is okay except that they are not exactly designed for adults to get through so if I want to join her it can be a bit of a tight fit!

My only issue with these is folding them up to put away! The cylinder is fine because you just remove the poles and it then slides down to be stored. The tent however and the tunnel need a bit more effort to squeeze down into a storable size and the tent especially seems overly complicated to the point that I have kept the instructions for whenever I get stuck putting it away. (every time!)

They are made of durable, quite tough plastic and so are difficult to tear or rip but are quite light so if it is at all windy, these will blow away if not weighted down!

Curently retailing at £30, these are a lot of fun even if they are a bit on the more-expensive-for-what-they-are price!
