Make a birthday tent

It’s super easy—and it will help you make memories with your child, too.

During our weekly date night—which simply means staying in and watching a movie while our daughter sleeps—my husband and I made our soon-to-be seven-year-old daughter a homemade tent as one of her big presents.

We attached a twin sheet (previously purchased for her bed at a discount store before we realized her bed was a full size!) to a hula hoop, tented it with the pillow case, and added felt embellishments such as leaves, forest critters, and a little gnome girl. I had started to make David the Gnome, whom she loves, but decided to make it a girl—with glasses like my daughter—instead.
