Why You Would Want A
Child Play Tunnel for Your Child

This toy is not expensive. Yet it's fun to play with and it has other benefit too.

Not only this toy is good for your child's physical development, but it also encourages social play. You will find that your child will love to 'chase' his friends in the tunnel.

And don't be surprised if your child often incorporates this toy in his pretend play. A child play tunnel can be transformed into 'a time machine', a 'secret tunnel', an 'escape tunnel', and much more. Throw some toys in there and quickly the play tunnel can serve as your child's retreat.

The bottom line is: your children will find many ways to use this toy.

The only drawback is that it requires a large amount of space to play with, although it can be stored folded. So think twice before you buy this if you are living in a small space.

In addition, we also find that this toy works best as a social toy as children can chase each other in the tunnel.

Pacific Play Tents make a lot of such tunnel. They come in either 4, 6 or 9 foot length. You can buy the crawling tunnel on its own or you can buy the one which comes with a tent. In this case, you can connect the tent to the tunnel, making it a nice scene for pretend play

Making you own child play tunnel

If you don't want to buy this toy but would like to have a child play tunnel, you can always make your own tunel. Get 6 big boxes whichh have the same dimension. Remove the top and bottom of the boxes. Connect one end of the box to the other using duct tapes. Now you have a tunnel your kids will love to crawl in.
