Who is Belinda?
Belinda describes herself as:
"I’m a wife, a mum, a freelance writer, a blogger, a
renovator, a decorator, a redecorator, a crafter, a chocolate
addict and sometimes - sometimes - I can be a total bludger.
But that that doesn’t happen very often because I like being
busy."
Belinda is over qualified as a reviewer of our range - she was
the deputy editor at Real Living and until recently, their
online editor.

Graham's review of this product:
“I do like it Zak,” I say. “And I’m so glad you like it.
You’ll like it even more when it’s out of the bag and actually
made into a tent.”
And so begins Zak’s love affair with his brand new “house”,
also known as the Angel At My Table Teepee. His crazy grin
once it was all up said it all: “AWESOME”. And awesome it is
for me too – both he and his little sister, Layla, 15 months,
zoomed in and out for hours, locked themselves in (and the
other out) by doing up the Velcro straps, had lunch in there,
played shops where little plastic balls were selling at the
highly inflated price of $50 each, and actually gave me a
chance to do sit back and relax (when I wasn’t being demanded
to “buy something”.) |

I’m a big
believer in toys that have a purpose: those that teach them
something, encourage creative and/or imaginative play, and
develop fine and gross motor skills. Funnily enough, this cute
little teepee does all of the above. Zak wanted to help me put
it together, and seeing as it was simply connecting a few
poles together via “tunnels” (plastic pipes), he could, which
helped his fine motor skills; he asked me a hundred things
about it – “how does the bell ring” “how is it closing”
“something more about Indians?” which taught him all sorts of
things he will relay back to me next time it’s up; and it
instantly made them creative - it’s a shop! A house! Layla’s
bed! A reading spot! A garage for the ladybug!

As for the
parent test (ie, is it easy to assemb le?) I passed that one
too. I deliberately didn’t look at instructions the first time
and worked it out in just a few minutes, being the clever
person that I am. There’s also two ways to erect it – the lazy
way as I call it (and as pictured in my images) which means
you can simply push back together and lean against the house
without taking it apart for the next day’s play; or the
sturdier way with the extra posts at the bottom which is ideal
if you have the space to leave it out all the time – it keeps
it in perfect teepee shape. |

A final test?
When it was time to pack it away, I just closed it up and
brought it inside past Zak who was sitting on the couch
reading . “No, mummy, put it back out.” “But it’s getting
late, time to pack up outside.” “I might go play again in a
little while. I might.” So out it went again. Out he went
again and if it wasn’t for the rain, they might still be out
there…
