Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Playhut Shell Raiser

The Playhut Shell Raiser (appx. $80) will delight the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan in your life. Your little one can pretend to drive, crawl through the tunnel openings, or pop through the roof using ninja skills. The tunnels attach to other Playhut structures easily, too.

9. Sunny Days Thomas & Friends

The Sunny Days Thomas & Friends (appx. $30) provides aspiring conductors a place to use their imaginations. This engine is four feet long with a rear opening for attaching additional tunnels. While it can be used outdoors, bear in mind it doesn’t include a floor.

8. Pacific Play Tents Club House

The Pacific Play Tents Club House (appx. $48) has enough space for the whole gang and even some tot-sized furniture. The mesh panels provide fresh air and light, and the fun design makes it feel like a child’s private space, with no adults allowed.

7. Dream House Teepee

For families who prefer natural materials, the Dream House Teepee (appx. $50) is constructed from breathable cotton canvas, and the support poles are real wood. There’s enough space inside for an adult to crawl in and snuggle up for story time.

6. Sue Sport Princess Castle

The Sue Sport Princess Castle (about $18) can accommodate little ones with one or two friends for make-believe play or even a sleepover. It requires a few minutes of adult assembly to insert the poles, so you might want to find a corner where you can leave it up.

5. Lightspeed Kids Fort

The Lightspeed Kids Fort (about $50) looks and feels almost like a camping tent, but can also be played with indoors. It sets up and breaks down easily using a hub system and convenient prethreaded poles, and it comes with ground stakes for stability on windy days.

4. Kiddie Play Ice Cream Truck

For children who love pretending, the Kiddie Play Ice Cream Truck (around $25) gives them the chance to deliver all their friends and family their favorite frozen treats. It even has a serving window, just like the ones that go around the neighborhood.

3. Playz 5-Piece

The colorful Playz 5-Piece (about $55) features two interchangeable tunnels and three structures, including a rounded section to which you could add balls to create a fun ball pit. There’s also two basketball hoops with a ball-return funnel to keep kids engaged.

2. Truedays Playhouse

The Truedays Playhouse (around $35) offers colorful fun for toddlers and a tall ceiling to accommodate older kids. The pop-up assembly makes it a cinch to set up or tear down for storage, and the polyester cloth is easy to clean with mild soap and water.

1. Pacific Play Tents Super Duper

The Pacific Play Tents Super Duper (around $29) is perfect for indoors or outdoors, and is roomy and durable enough for up to four children to enjoy hours of fun. The mesh screens at the top provide ventilation and a clear view for adult supervision.
