Adventure for Youngsters
There is nothing quite as fun, for youngsters, as the thrill of hunkering down in a tent with some snacks, a few toys, and a flashlight, to enjoy the pretending of camping out. While blankets draped over a couple of chairs, held down with huge dictionary and encyclopedia volumes, may suit the purpose of the creative child, it is all the more exciting to have an adventure in a "real" tent.
Through the years, various companies have recognized this favorite activity, creating tents which might not make it through an actual camping experience in the wilderness, but which are colorful fun for the youngster not quite ready to strike out on his or her own wilderness experience. My children have particularly enjoyed such tents, at various stages, and in this article, I will highlight some of the adventure tents now available. Foster your child's imagination through pretend play, with something as simple as a tent.

Discovery Kids Tents
Discovery really has the idea, as they combine colorful tents with tubular crawl through attachments. My children had such a tent when they were young, and that crawling space is fantastic fun. In my childhood, such tunnels were made apart from tents, and I loved the activity. Discovery's combination of crawling with camping makes for lots of fun child adventures.
Some of the Discovery Adventure Tents include a tent, with an attached crawl tube as an exit, while other systems of Discovery tents include two tent spaces with a crawl tube connection. Regardless, the fun is in the ability of the active youngster to hide out, chase, and imagine.

Pacific Play Tents
While Discovery Tents are simple enough in offerings, Pacific Play Tents provide some innovation in terms of offering different designs and themes. Crawl tube attachments are included with some tents, while others are decorated with jungle motif, clubhouse, or other cute designs.
Playhut
Playhut tents are particularly great for youngsters, as they fold together, and pop back out when ready for use. Easy enough to store, quick to put away, or to set up, and with characters such as Thomas the Engine, these are likeable ways to encourage your child to have an adventure in the comfort of the living room!
