Forts in the living room? Sounds like a kid's greatest dream. Indoor forts, teepees, and playhouses turn even the worst case of cabin fever upside down. Kids love crawling in and out of the small structures and use their imaginations to create a magical world within their fort. Playhouses even encourage your kid to grab a good book and snuggle up. They're the perfect ticket to beat the blues this wintertime. Here are the coolest play tents for kids
DIY Crazy Fort
The Fat Brain Toys' Flexi-Fort set allows kids to create their very own structure each and every time. It includes 25 balls and 44 sticks that connect to form practically any shape your child can dream up. Then, just cover their creation with a blanket for the perfect playtime fort. Today, your little one can build a cave. Tomorrow, it's a skyscraper!
Tremendous Teepee
This Pillowfort Teepee is a classic. Decorate the inside with a strand of lights to create the perfect cozy place to curl up with a good book. Or, just keep it as-is and leave the possibilities to your child's imagination.

Does your child love all things outer space? Bring out her inner astronaut every day with this Land of Nod Playhouse Canopy. 3-2-1 BLASTOFF... to hours of indoor fun!
Jetaire Camper Fort
Land of Nod's Jetaire Camper brings all the fun of outdoor camping to the indoors. This fort looks just like a family RV, complete with an awning and curtains that go up and down. With this cool camper fort, your little one can choose to travel wherever her imagination takes her.
Fantasy Fort
With its real-wood lookalike panels, Hearthsong's Fantasy Fort allows kids to build a fort that looks like a real house right in their playroom. This fort features heavy duty cardboard panels with double-sided Velcro connectors so your kids can build any style structure they can imagine, then take it down and build something completely different.
