Little brother enjoying a banana in the shade.
We used some bamboo poles that we bought at Wal-Mart in the garden section (only $1.50 for a package of 12) as our basic structure. I pushed them into the ground, tied them together at the top with some rope, draped a fun looking table cloth over the top, and tied it to the sides. Instant tepee!
I would love to someday make a more "permanent" tepee out side like this one from Creek Side Learning or an indoor one like this from The Boo and the Boy.
It was a wonderful time spent together!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this! How fun! I saw the coolest teepee on pinterest where you build a frame and let plants climb it! Fun!
ReplyDelete@Branson I actually used the other poles from the package to make a tepee for my tomato plants to climb on :-)
