TeePee

A teepee or Tipi was traditionally a tent made from animal skins on poles. Historically they originated in North America and Canada and used by local indigenous tribes. The teepees were durable and provided lots of warmth during the winter months. cool during the summer and dry during the rainy seasons.

Bespoke Playgrounds can design and install a teepee style timber structure for children to get away from it all. By providing a teepee, children will have their own little zone in the world where learning outcomes happen. It is a space for them to find quiet, as well as facilities that encourage imaginative and creative play. It is a blank canvas on the inside, so children can make it their own each day with colourful cushions and throws.

Why incorporate a TeePee?

When children play together they quickly learn to communicate, share and collaborate with each other.  And with this they learn to empathise with others which are skills that are essential as grow older.
