With the entrance always facing the rising sun, tipis are tents held upright by long, thin sticks.

My grandson has a lot of this series of toys -- the Native Americans are his favorite right now. He also has a lot of the knights and the castle. He plays with these for hours. (Fortunately for him he has a dad who is an imaginative and patient playmate.) The tipi took about fifteen to twenty minutes to put together correctly, but once it was together he immediately set it on the table in his room and began to play with it. It's good quality, authentic looking, and stimulates his imagination.

This is an unique gift. Very well made for the price. I have seen the same item for about $40 in Target & Toys R'Us. It comes in sections and the top piece is a little loose. If a person wanted to the parts could be superglued together for a better fit. As a toy it is good, but without any figures it is more of an ornament. I think it is a nice decorative object for your living room.I bought two, one for my home and for my 6 year old grandson.I rated it four stars for educational value, because it is a quality reproduction of an actual tipi and could be used to show what Plains Natives lived in. Could be used in a school classrom.

This is a beautiful TeePee. It is much larger than I expected. It's got a lot of detail and is pretty sturdy. I was afraid it would be more like a collectible that sits on a shelf just for vewing. But, it can definitely be played with, and in our house, it is played with all the time. My son loves it. He had been asking for it for over a year and when he finally received it as a holiday gift, he was absolutely thrilled. I don't know that it has educational value; I never checked to see that it was a replica of a real TeePee but it appears to look very authentic. I just know that both my son and I are very pleased with this toy. Makes me wish I was 4 inches tall so I could fit inside!
