Target kids bedding (outdoors theme)?

11:28

I went to target about a month ago and fell in love with this outdoor - camping bedding set.

I found the quilt set and bear pillow on target.com but was unable to find the lantern, decor pillow, or bed tent. I didn't know if anyone knew where I could find it online. People out of state want to know so they can ship it to us.

Here are links to the stuff I found.

I happen to own that. They have a ton of it at our Target, just keep looking around. I bought mine over a year ago, I thought they'd have discontinued it by now, but every time I go, I see more and more of it. Ask people you know from different areas to check their Target for you. I think you'll have much better luck if you can get it from an actual store, rather than ordering online. BTW, ebay is always an option.

Should i get the Greatland tent or Coleman Durango Tent?

lovepink86

here's the features for the Greatland tent:

Family Tent
Comfortably Holds 8 People
Includes Zip Carrying Bag
Tent Frame Made of Fiberglass Poles
Polyester Tent Shell
Comes in Blue
Features Shock-Corded Frame
Welded Floor Seam
3 Windows
Water Resistant
10-min. Approximate Set-up Time
Also Includes Mud Mats
Clean with Water and Mild Detergent
Ideal for Camping
14 x 15 Sq. Feet (Fully Assembled)
30"x12.75"x12.75" " (In Storage Sack)

The features for the Coleman Durango Tent are:

Tent has 2 rooms and sleeps 8 adults
Removable hanging divider to separate rooms
126 sq. ft. of floor space
11mm and 9.5mm shock-corded fiberglass poles
77Hx120Wx180D"

I am making a tent into a clubhouse type of thing and there are 6 kids. A 12, 11, 9, 8, 6, 5 year olds are going to be in the tent. Obviously I am getting more than 1 tent and I might connect them some how. Both these tents are 2 rooms. Also, Greatland tent is $159.99 and the Coleman Durango Tent is $99.99. Both the tents are from target and you can look them up to see what they look like.
Thank you.

Answer
Well, it's really not going to matter in the long run. Neither of these tents will last very long as they're not known for making the best tents. After a few uses you'll most likely discover leaks and tears. Besides, 6 kids + tent is going to be rough on the tent. So you'll probably want to spend the least amount of money this time around.

My brother broke his elbow... what can he do this summer??

kids camping tents target image

Tayler

He's 11 and had to miss out on summer camp... all of his friends are going andhe's left out. He can't swim or bike or anything like that; the bulk of his time is spent playing video games. Does anyone have an idea on what else he can do this summer? He's really bummed....

Answer
Oh the poor kid my son is 9 and just got out of a full arm cast.

Mike broke his wrist and was playing around not listening to the whole do not dos, and he rebroke it in the cast and it did not grow back right had to go through surgery and 12 more weeks in a cast so tell your brother to listen ok.

Depending on which arm is broke will determine how much of a change it will be.

Mike broke his dominate arm but he still managed to play catch, he just dropped his mitt and learned to throw with his left hand. got pretty good at it to. It just took a little longer.

He practiced drawing and writing to. we made a game out of it and had competitions as to who could write better left handed.

We took him fishing and boating, we just had to cover the cast with a plastic bag to keep it dry and we had to hold his pole for him while he reeled it in or vice versa, depending on what mood he was in lol we had to remove the fish from the line for him. but he still had fun.

We took him down to the park and played one handed basketball, everyone tied down their dominate hand. we were definately a sight lol.

We did the same thing when we took him to play mini golf and things like that.

Do you have a hiking trail near you? a family hike is always fun to do. Just make sure you go out early in the morn or after it cools down in the evening because the sweatier he gets, the more the cast will make him itch that is why they tell him to keep it dry that and getting it wet will cause soft spots.

We let Mike have sleepovers they pitched a tent in the back yard and made smores and roasted hotdogs and goofed off all night.

We threw him a kareoke party to cheer him up right after he broke his arm, kids love to get up and sing or at least mine do. and so did most of his friends. We played a lot of one armed games and team work games.

We got him a paintball gun and set up targets in the backyard . He put his arm on a makeshift table we set up used the cast to help level his gun and had fun for hours with his friends.

Took them down to play lasertag and to the arcade in town to hang out with his friends. they went to the movies,

he had squirt gun fights we just covered the cast.

bowling with gutterguards

I am trying real hard to remember evey thing we did. Mike is a very active kid so sitting playing video games just wasn't getting it for him.

We took him to the mud runs, motor cross, He went to his friends baseball games, car show, We took him to the race track, Just a dirt track not to far from us.

Mike still had some mobility to his arm, his cast only came up to just below the shoulder. a lot of what your brother can do will depend on how much mobility he has and on how determind your brother is. Nothing is going to be easy but he can pretty much do every thing he used to do it will just be a little harder of course he wont be playing football or baseball or soccer to much of a chance of reinjury. Swimming is pretty much out of the question but he can go tubbing,
Not behind a boat mind you ( floating down the river we tied our tubes all togeather) We went paddel boating just make sure his arm is covered good. Double bag and a hair tie works great.

Him and his friends got remote control cars and planes they met up in the park and used them. they played a lot of hackie sack, Frisbe, kick ball, yard darts, horse shoes, road horses, he just had to be helped up in the saddle.

Well I hope I gave you some fun ideas.

Just tell him to stay away from rough housing, and skateboards. reinjury sucks!!!!!

Im a Camping Virgin, please help!?

My husband, 2 boys, and I are going camping. I have never been before? What do I need to prepare myself for? Oh, and we are going in tents on a non electric site.

Answer
Be prepared to get a little dirty and at least act like it's no big deal. A good husband will be first up to start the morning fire and set the coffee on. Be sure to bring everything that brings you comfort for sleeping as that is what will make the experience best. I can deal with a lot of issues but when I can't sleep the weekend is shot. Start with a good sleeping bag rated for the weather you will be having add a fleece blanket to that. if you can bring a cot that's great, an air mattress is ok to, at the minimum a closed cell foam pad at least 2 inches thick will keep you comfy through the night. Give each kid a chore in camp if old enough ie picking up loose trash, gathering wood and make it fun make a stick that has a nail in the end to poke the trash with and have the wood gatherer build a log house or some strange design with the wood pile. Have a plan for something to do at all times of the day as kids will always say what are we gonna do next and you can't plop them down in front of the tv cause there won't be one. So bring several outside games like horse shoes, frisbee for frisbee golf each tree is a potential target and set up an 18 hole course with a sweet surprise to the winner. fishing tackle if fishing is nearby and dad should be the example here. binoculars the most powerful ones you can afford are great for star gazing and viewing local wildlife. Bring a star map too and explain what the kids are looking at tell the story of some of the constellations these are what kids will always remember the won't remember the dirt or the cold or the rain but will remember what gave them joy and the close by the fire stories with you and dad holding the kids tight. Have fun and here is a link for what to bring with a great check list

what do my husband and I need to go camping?

kids camping tents target image

KimberlyJ

I haven't been camping since I was a kid. What equipment do I need? I don't want to spend a fortune on camping equipment, but I need to be comfortable. I am five months pregnant and feeling very sick. I think the outdoors would help me quite a bit. Any advice would be helpful thanks.

Answer
#1 most important thing.

Be comfortable.

Pick out a tent at Walmart/Kmart/Target that is large enough for one of those Coleman (or off brand) air mattresses to fit inside it. Twin size at least. The air mattress should come with (you may have to buy it seperate) battery operated blower/pump, to blow it up for you. If it rains...the 6" thick air matress will keep you up off the ground and dry...even if you have an inexpensive tent.

Try to find a shadey spot, wherever you set up your tent. Tents can get hot in the morning with the sun shining on them.

I'd say the rest ...keep as simple as you can. Setting up and taking down your camp should not the a "big" chore. If it is...your making it too hard on yourself.

My favorite time saver? I gotta have coffee in the morning. I don't mess with a perculator anymore. I buy those big pre-made coffee/filter bag things. Drop one or two in a camp pot...boil...coffee! No mess to clean up.


Keep the "camp" part of it simple. You will have more time to relax, explore or goof around.

Just my two cents...


Have fun!

How do I make hoop tunnel for dog agility?

Brooke A

Currently, I'm using a construction-type ditch pipe. I'd also like to know where I can purchase some nylon for the tunnel cover.

Answer
Bad idea. A good agility dog comes out of a tunnel faster than he went in it (and he went in it fast). That's because they can use the cloth of the tunnel for purchase. And they can run on the walls using centrifugal force. And the tunnel has give.

Your construction pipe will be slick inside and therefore difficult to get purchase on. The dog will have trouble running on the sides. Most importantly, when the enters at an angle and hits solid pipe, he'll learn to slow up. Your pipe will be teaching the dog to SLOW up when entering the tunnel. Totally wrong approach.

A stiff cardboard box is a far superior alternative. Dog's don't perceive the world the way we do. You see a pipe as similar to a tunnel because you're focusing on shapes. A dog sees a stiff card board box as similar to a competition grade tunnel because his experience running inside is more similar than it would be running inside a construction-grade pipe (that is more similar in shape to a competition-grade tunnel). Don't think like a human, think like a dog!

As for making/acquiring a tunnel:
--Look at Affordableagility.com and you'll find a competition-grade tunnel for $150.
--If you really want to go cheap, go to Target or JC Penny and buy a plastic kid's tunnel for $20. That is less than the material you'll spend MAKING a tunnel.
--If you insist on MAKING a tunnel, than the key is the piping that provides a secure but flexible tunnel frame. Almost any cloth that is stiff nylon or rip-stop will do keeping in mind that without any kind of rubber treat, your tunnel will develop rot and mold very quickly and will probably last less than 12 months (unless you can move it inside).

However, I suspect you aren't really trying to make a tunnel but a chute. In which case your approach makes more sense.

1. Go to affordable agility. Buy "agility in a bag." For $150 you get 6 PVC weave poles, 2 PVC adjustable jumps, a worthless pause box, a mediocre tire, and a perfectly useable chute (short tunnel with very appropriate cloth chute). It's worth the time and money you'd spend making the darn thing to just buy the kit. It even comes with a travel bag!
2. If you insist on making a chute, I still wouldn't use the construction ditch pipe. The challenge with the chute is to get material that isn't too light or too heavy. Too light and it becomes easily tangled, your dog will panic and you've trained them not to like the chute. To heavy and a small dog can't push it's way through. Some tent tarps or extendable covers (at a Target or camping store) might be appropriate as long as they aren't heavy duty material. Often times, tents or sunshades will have an extendable awning--that's the kind of material (and probably in an appropriate size) you'd be looking for. But the catch is--that will probably cost you more than it would to just buy the chute from Affordable agility.

Where Can I buy a Mini Tent Store Display (Sample Tent)?

kids camping tents target image

erkster2

I want to buy one of those miniature tents that are used as display replicas. They are seen in stores such as Target and Home Depot. They look and work just like the real tents but are mini. They would be awesome to have as a doll tent, G.I. Joe tent, and maybe for a small critter.

Answer
A "little expensive"??? Teenytents want $97 each PLUS $10 to $25 shipping. The models they show in stock didn't cost that much for the full sized tents!

There are kids camping play sets that have pretty accurate looking mini tents for far less money. Like these:

camping moms please help me..I just bought a butterfly camp tent?

what do I

from target..it comes with ''shock-corded'' poles
it doesnt come with any instructions,im assuming it's suppose to be so easy that one doesnt need them..LOL

i dont get it,theres no phone # either
i cant get it together

all it has is 2 seperate poles that are already lile attached??
any ideas??
it;s just a cheap basic lil tent for my toddler

Answer
Oh this is hard to explain in words!

The two poles will look like a big X when you put the tent together.

Your tent should have an opening where the poles can go. Enter one at a time, connecting each section as you go.

It is tricky at the end, but the tent should have a bit of give to it.

Hope this helps! Can you ask anyone? You could ask a neighbor kid and play it off like no big deal, you are letting him help bc you thought he might find it fun!

Good tent ideas for baby?

Hi I am trying to find some of the portable tents i can get for my 5 month old cause we are going away to the beach in a few weeks and trying to find one that i can use for that and if u know of any what stores have them thanks so much.

Answer
We used to go to the beach when our kids were babies. We'd take their porta-crib (pack-n-play) and use a large beach umbrella to keep them in the shade. I am grandma now and I bought a pack-n-play that came with a cover - very nice for the beach and camping, too. I've seen some beach tents at Target so I imagine most of those types of stores like K-Mart or Wal-Mart would probably have them, too. Also, try a sporting goods store. We have Dunham's in our area and they carry that type of thing, too. I have also seen them on eBay. You want to only get the kind of tent that is specifically designed for the beach as the type of tent that you would use for camping, such as a small dome tent is not made out of the right material and does not have the right ventilation for the beach. Having been a tenting family for years, camping tents are incredibly hot inside when the sun is shining on them. You don't want to use this type of tent at the beach - your baby will overheat in it.
