Customer Reviews

My 5-year-old grandson loves this toy!
My grandson has a lot of this series of toys -- the Native Americans are his favorite right now. He also has a lot of the knights and the castle. He plays with these for hours. (Fortunately for him he has a dad who is an imaginative and patient playmate.) The tipi took about fifteen to twenty minutes to put together correctly, but once it was together he immediately set it on the table in his room and began to play with it. It's good quality, authentic looking, and stimulates his imagination.

Tipi (the way it should be spelled)
This is an unique gift. Very well made for the price. I have seen the same item for about $40 in Target & Toys R'Us. It comes in sections and the top piece is a little loose. If a person wanted to the parts could be superglued together for a better fit. As a toy it is good, but without any figures it is more of an ornament. I think it is a nice decorative object for your living room.

I bought two, one for my home and for my 6 year old grandson.

I rated it four stars for educational value, because it is a quality reproduction of an actual tipi and could be used to show what Plains Natives lived in. Could be used in a school classrom.
