Pop Up Play Tunnel for Toddlers

I always remember enjoying crawling through tunnels when I was little, and it seems this pass time is a timeless classic!

It is common for nurseries and play groups to have these kind of toys, but actually they aren’t too expensive to buy for a toddler.

Note: This does assume you have space for these things, you do need a good sized room if you’re going to have little ones running around!

Home Soft Play

We bought a tunnel and tent set for our son for his first birthday, and he enjoyed crawling through it from day one. But it really came into its own as he got a little older and started running around, diving through, jumping over and everything else.

A popular way to keep our son happy on a cold rainy afternoon in the winter months is to set up our own “soft play” room at home. We filled the paddling pool with balls, got the cushions off the sofa and place them around the floor, got out the pop up ten and of course laid out the play tunnel.

I can speak for our own little one and say that it would make an otherwise slow afternoon fly by in the blink of an eye, whilst making sure they get some exercise and are fully tired out, ready for bed.

If you are buying a birthday present for your own toddler, or for a friend’s, the pop up tunnel will be appreciated by parents and kids alike.
