*We were gifted our MYWEETEEPEE in return for an honest review.
With almost nine years between my two children, most things we buy are for one or other. It’s incredibly rare we stumble across something that we know they will both love equally.
Our MYWEETEEPEE is however one product which is adored by both of them equally. In fact I would go so far as to say it’s the toy that in our house is used the most.
So why do we love our MYWEETEEPEE so much?
First of all, I love it because it looks beautiful in the living room. It’s neutral colours scheme and well thought out design mean that this is one toy I don’t mind looking at.
The lovely hot air balloons featured on each side will also look perfect in the Lion’s transport themed bedroom when he gets a little older.
The flags on the top add a real touch of flair, the little cottage style window on the side adds fantastic playability and the front ‘door’ style opening means that both children love being able to shut the grown ups out.
With a base of 110 by 120cm it’s the perfect size for playing in, whilst also being small enough to leave up in the lounge/ bedroom if you want to without it taking up the whole room.
Because it’s 140cm tall at its highest point, even ten year old Bear can stand at full height when she is in the middle.
It’s incredibly easy to assemble. In fact from box to fully built took less than five minutes, and I am definitely not an expert builder!
When not in use, you can either disassemble completely and pop into its handy storage bag, or keep the poles in place and pop it easily behind the sofa (think two golf umbrellas put together and you won’t be far wrong with the size.
Unlike many of their competitors MYWEETEEPEE include a non-slip wadded floor mat as standard, I know that when summer time comes and the children want to take the teepee outside that this is definitely going to come into its own.
It provides hours of entertainment for both children. Seeing how much the Bear still enjoys playing in it at ten years old shows me that this is a toy that will stand the test of time. I know that this is a toy that the Lion will still be loving for years to come.
It really does encourage creative play. In our house it’s already been used as a garage, a farmyard, a kitchen and of course a camping trip. And I’m absolutely sure that that’s only the start of the adventures that it will see.
How about from an Autism point of view?
The window cover can be pulled down which allows for total seclusion inside the teepee when needed. Meaning it’s a fantastic place for children and young people to go to calm down.
The high quality fabric and solid construction mean that it will withstand the test of time. It’s a product that I would be just as confident to have in my classroom as in my home.
It is genuinely easy to build and put together, there is nothing about its construction that an older child trying to put it together would find frustrating.
It provides a sense of privacy, allowing children who struggle with anxiety to experiment with play in a place that they feel safe and secure.
What Would We Change?
Honestly absolutely nothing. The construction is brilliant. The design is beautiful. And most of all the children love it.
I can’t recommend it highly enough.
So Who Would We Recommend A MYWEETEEPEE To?
I think you would hard pressed to find any child who doesn’t love it. And if I’m honest I think it would be equally hard to find a parent that doesn’t.
It’s a product I’d recommend equally highly to parents and teachers. And equally highly to those looking to encourage creative play, as to those looking to give their child a safe space to call their own.
This is one purchase, well worth making. And one you definitely won’t regret.
That’s so good to have something that both the kids can play in and such a pretty decoration on the sides x
It really is and very unusual for mine to find something that they both be love xx
I love the design! My girls love a teepee, they are a great place to let their imaginations run free!
It really is such a pretty one, both have mine are really loving playing in it x
This is so cute – i love Teepees, i wish i had more room in the house for one!
The beauty of this one is it’s so easy to put up and down you can easily only have it up for part of the time x
This is lovely and I have just included a teepee in my bedroom wishlist for when we revamp Poppy’s bedroom. This one is gorgeous xx
I really cannot recommend it highly enough, the quality is truly beautiful x
Aww this looks like such a lovely tepee – I love the design and the fact that it can act as a place to calm down is brilliant 🙂
It really is such a fantastic product x
Oh my goodness! MyWeeTeePee looks beautiful! It must be so hard to find something for the kids to share, when there is such an age gap. It’s lovely to see a product that suits them both so well. My daughters turn 3 and 6 in March and this could be a perfect present idea! x
It really is one of the best things we own. I can’t recommend it highly enough x
This looks amazing and I love that it’s got the longevity factor. I really like the hot air balloon design and I think the size would be perfect for something I am planning for my daughter.
I really can’t fault it in any way, the level of workmanship and quality really is excellent too x
This looks brilliant for all children but love the extra security it offers autistic children. I used to hide under my desk to get some space and my kids love building dens
There really is nothing better than feeling like you have your very own space x
This looks super cute, my little boys would have a whale of the time in it!
They really are such beautiful quality too x
I love that it is so easy to assemble and only takes 5 minutes to set up. Plus how cool is a teepee to get your children playing together?
It really is. They are loving every minute x
We have a teepee at home too and although I don’t keep it up all the time, the kids adore it when I do put it up
One of the things I love about this one is just how easy it is to put up and down. We really do love it!
Ah wow this looks like so much fun, and so easy to put up too! I would have loved something like this when I was little!

It really is perfect in every way. We all love it!
My 5-year old got something very similar for his birthday last year, and he LOVES it! It’s set up in his room and every now and then he’ll sleep in it overnight – other days he’ll go in there to read or color (or to escape his little brother!) We’ll definitely be getting one for my youngest in the next year or two.
I have a feeling sleepovers in ours will definitely be coming too, it really does open so many possibilities for play xx
This is a lovely teepee, I’m impressed that your 10 year old can stand up in it. I have seen a few teepees at friend’s houses that don’t look very sturdy so it’s good to hear you recommend this one
It is beautifully made and will definitely stand the test of time. I really can’t recommend it highly enough xx
It really does look beautiful in the living room – even I want one lol! The colours and design are perfect, and gender neutral too, which is nice x
It really is, we all love it xx
Oh this looks absolutely gorgeous. I love teepees but haven’t ever gotten around to buying one. I have a feeling that my boys would absolutely love this!
It really is beautiful and the children literally do play in it the whole time. You should definitely take the plunge xx
Looks great. I like the fact that it is easy to assemble.
It really is, and such beautiful quality too x
I love this! I’ve been wondering about getting a teepee for the boys for a while, but have never taken the plunge and bought one. I love how this one has an air balloon design, so cute!
You should definitely do it, my two both play in theirs the whole time x
This looks absolutely beautiful. You’ve just reminded me that my daughter has a teepee in the cupboard! x
Definitely time to dig it out, it might just give you a peaceful weekend x
It’s so gorgeous. We have a MyWeeTeePee too and their designs are so gorgeous. I love how easily they can be put together too. We always take ours with us on staycations, picnics and to the beach. I love the balloon design on yours. I can see why you both agree on how fab it is!
They really are fantastic in every way aren’t they? I can’t recommend them highly enough x
Oh how cute . Alessia wants one of these for her birthday. I’m eager to get her one now 🙂
You definitely should. My two literally spend hours in theirs xx
It sounds like a great teepee. The design sounds brilliant and I know two little girls who would play in it for hours
It really is such a beautiful product xx
