How to Make a TeePee for Indoor Play
Winter weather means cold temps. We try to get outside to play every day, but sometimes the thermometer is just too low for us to go outside for very long. Other days, we are out there for hours! (Yesterday, my daughter and I were outside for FOUR hours strait. In the mud, melting snow, and more mud. It was a day of fun, but I was ready to bundle up in a blanket with my wiggly babies and hot cocoa after that!
When you are looking for an indoor play idea, you want easy prep, minimal materials, and easy clean-up. Thisindoor teepee is perfect for creative play, a cozy book nook, or imaginative teepee play, all indoors! I love that it can be used for a sensory calm-down hideaway, too.

If you like, you can wrap and tie a cotton scarf around the end of the brooms for more stability.
You're done! Drape a large sheet over the teepee and start playing!
Quick Tip: Place the teepee on a carpeted surface. The Corn Brooms ends will be more stable than if you place it on a hardwood floor.

Use the teepee for a quiet reading nook, sensory calm-down space, or pretend play area.
