Looking for a hideaway that brings imagination to life, stands up to the British weather, and looks downright delightful in your outdoor space?
Our Wooden Teepee does exactly that and adds a touch of magic for good measure.
Crafted in a charming pyramid shape, this robust structure is perfect for creating a playhouse, a storytelling nook, a safe retreat in a forest school area or a cosy corner in a nursery garden.
Three sides are enclosed to provide that reassuring enclosed feel, while the open doorway gives easy access and maintains clear visibility for staff.
Cut-out window spaces add airflow and create lovely moments of light and shadow play.
The upper section steals the show with circular openings featuring coloured perspex, casting gentle rainbow hues inside and sparking curiosity every time the sun comes out to say hello.
From a quiet reading spot to a base for explorers, potion brewers or café hosts, this teepee invites rich outdoor play, communication and calm reflection.
It offers just the right mix of shelter, independence and creative possibility, making it a standout feature in any EYFS or primary outdoor learning environment.
Features
Pyramid design: A wide, stable base and pointed top create a distinctive teepee shape, offering a comfortable enclosed space ideal for outdoor dens, playhouses or learning nooks in school and nursery settings.
Open doorway on one side: The accessible front opening allows children to move in and out freely while ensuring staff maintain clear visibility and ventilation throughout outdoor play sessions.
Three enclosed wooden sides with window spaces: Solid wooden panels provide a sense of privacy and security, enhanced by thoughtfully placed cut-out windows that let natural light and airflow into the structure.
Circular cut-out windows with coloured perspex: Fitted into the upper section, these striking features cast soft, colourful patterns inside, creating a sensory-rich experience that enhances engagement and imaginative play.
Sturdy outdoor construction: Built from durable wood chosen for long-term outdoor reliability, making it suitable for forest school areas, garden classrooms and all-weather EYFS environments.
Benefits
Encourages imaginative play: Ideal for open-ended role play scenarios such as fairy woods, explorers’ bases or forest cafés, helping children develop storytelling skills and creative thinking through outdoor learning.
Promotes communication and social interaction: The shared den space naturally supports turn-taking, negotiating roles and collaborative play, strengthening communication and relationship-building across EYFS groups.
Supports emotional wellbeing: The semi-enclosed design offers a calming retreat for children who might benefit from a quieter moment, creating a nurturing environment that encourages self-regulation and reflection.
Develops spatial awareness and movement: Entering, exiting and arranging items inside the teepee allows children to build confidence in physical coordination, spatial reasoning and purposeful movement.
