K is a little bit obsessed with frogs or Bid-its (his version of ribbit I assume) as he calls them. On a recent trip to B&M, we wandered past the above in its box. "Wow" came the little voice from my side. As it was only £9.99 and therefore cheaper than a playhouse (and more versatile), I bought it.
It is very easy to assemble - it has two rods that fold into sections for storage and unfold quickly. These slot into a series of loops and ties inside the tent on the seams. The ends sit into each corner. The tunnel is secured via two loops and toggles and the frog face by one loop and toggle. The flaps are on velcro. The material is water resistant although obviously the apex of the roof is mesh and therefore not rain-proof!
The material is not very thick so is not suitable for use on patio's etc as it will abrade and tear. We used four foam squares inside as a base to make it more comfortable for K to use, although it was on the grassed area.
It is currently in the lounge, K has been "hidong" in it and has now fallen asleep inside it with a fleece and cushion! The whole thing packs up into a storage bag the same diameter as the frog face so it is also easily transported - we are off to the beach at the end of July and will take it with us as a shelter for K (along with his Koo-di solar shade and some clothes pegs!).
All in all, this was definitely £9.99 well spent, especially as I have seen the same tent elsewhere for double the price!
