When it comes to children’s forts, the ones made from couch cushions are simply no match for Dexton Kids’ charming private playhouses and super-cool miniature teepees. The California toymaker has been crafting sturdy yet lightweight frames for more than 10 years. Its catalog includes a princess-themed playhouse complete with tieback ruffle curtains, and teepees for indoor/outdoor use that range from 6 to 12 feet in height. Not only are they modeled after real Great Plains teepees, but several are made from cotton canvas and primed for kids to paint on.
