Now that summer is really heating up, it's almost time to do more than just go outside and play. For those that live in extreme heat, you need to create indoor entertainment while not making yourself and the kids stir crazy. A play tent that can be moved between the indoors and the outdoors easily is just the thing you need for summer entertainment. Play tents can do more than just house toys—they can be used as reading nooks, sleeping tents for at night in your living room, or just for looking awesome in a corner of the playroom. Here are a few of my favorite play tents for kids that will let their imaginations run wild while you enjoy a few minutes of uninterrupted bliss this summer.
