I recently styled a Thanksgiving Kids’ Party for my son and wanted a Teepee for the party area. Let me just say, we were not disappointed! Not only was the teepee high quality but it was super easy to assemble. It took me less than 20 minutes to put it together, minus the time I took to iron it. It was the perfect piece for our party and best of all, my son loved it!

The kit includes several felt pieces to drape on the teepee as well as a cute pom pom garland. String the felt leaves, beads and felt pennants along the rope and hang on the teepee. The kit also includes paint and foam stamps. We elected to keep the Teepee plain so I can coordinate it with other party themes later down the road.

Add a plush rug, a few costume props and lots of imagination and you have your very own hideaway. Perfect for parties, playdates and more! I know we’ll get lots of use out of this one, so don’t be surprised if you see it in upcoming parties!
