Answer
"Tents donât necessarily have to go outdoors. You can make a fun indoor tent thatâs collapsible and will give the kids hours of enjoyment. This tent doesnât need any stakes but you will have to have plenty of fabric.
How To Make A Collapsible Indoor TentSheets can be used to make curtains, tablecloths, and yes, even tents.
Consider sheets instead of other material, since theyâre inexpensive and easy to work with, for this project.
Five twin sheets will make an excellent tent. You can purchase fabric, though, in smaller yardage than the sheets, if youâd like a shorter or smaller tent. Working with sheets makes it easier, since you donât have to measure and cut each side of the tent.
Consider how much floor space you can spare for the tent. Remember that the tent is easily collapsible if it needs to be moved in a hurry. Measure out the amount of space youâre willing to give the tent, then cut a sheet or piece of fabric to that size, allowing a couple extra inches on each side for hemming, and making sure to cut the piece in a perfect square. If one end of the sheet is already hemmed, do not add the extra inches for that side.
The square piece, upon being completely hemmed, becomes the top of the tent. Each of the four remaining sheets will become a side of the tent. Stitch the first sheet onto one side of the tent, at the very top edge. Allow the edge of the tent top to barely hang over the top edge of the sheet. Continue this until you have three sides sewn onto the tent. For the fourth side of the tent, cut the sheet in half, lengthways, then hem the cut edges. Sew the sheet onto the tent, making the fourth side, including a doorway. Make tabs and sew one on the top section and one on the bottom section of each sheet edge. These are used to tie the sides shut.
In order to hang the collapsible tent insert four eye hooks into the ceiling. To make the tent collapse out of the way of guests, insert two of the eye hooks next to the top ceiling molding. The four hooks should align with the four corners of the tent top.
String wire through the tent at all four corners. Wad the wire into a ball shape at each end, inside the tent, to keep it from coming out when hung. String the wire up to the eye hooks, making sure to get the tent top level and even. Simply wrap the wire around the eye hook and itâll hang until ready to collapse.
To collapse the tent just undo the front two wires. To remove the tent completely, just remove all four wires from the eye hooks. The tent is easy to hang again, and the kids will have a blast when they play in it."

How to entertain toddlers when it rains?
lennie2008
I baby sit a really active 2 year old. We are usually outside when I sit for her. But when ever It rains we have to stay inside but, she never wants to. She does not like watching D.V.D's, arts and crafts or playing with her toys, all she likes doing is creating GIANT messes.
How should I entertain her?
Answer
- Play hide and seek
- Built a tent out of sheets and furniture
- Color
- If possible maybe you could get her to take a nap?
- Bake cookies or a cake! It's fun, kinda messy, and you can eat it afterwards!
- Find an educational game on the internet for her to play
- Dress her up in a pretty dress and take "model" pictures of her
- Play with play dough
- Write a film/movie, and record it with a video camera
- Play with pets (if you have any)
- Sit outside on the porch and watch the rain (if it's not cold outside)
- Put on a raincoat, boots, and an umbrella and go outside!
- Take her for a drive in the rain
- Listen to music
- Have an indoor picnic - this is my kid's favorite. Make lots of healthy treats, lay out a blanket, and enjoy! Here are some treat ideas.
*Ants on a Log
Take a stalk of celery, spread peanut butter on it, and sprinkle raisins on it
*Peanut Butter Pizza
Spread peanut butter on a tortilla. Peel and slice and an apple. Lay apple slices on top. Sprinkle raisins on top. It's delicious. =)
*M&M Pretzels
Get square pretzels. Get hershey's hugs and warm them until they are soft. Place the hug on the pretzel. Then put an M&M on top of the hug and push it down.
*Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
Spread peanut butter on a slice of bread, and then slice bananas on the bread, and put another piece of bread on top.
This will keep her busy making the treats and then eating them!
Good luck!
