RE: I want to get one of these teepees for my DS bday.
The link you posted looks really cool. I can't imagine any teepee too complicated. I realize I am replying to this late. What did you end up buying?
We have this one. http://www.kidsurplus.com/tntt1000.html It is a really sturdy canvas and super easy to handle. I can set it up or collapse it in about a minute. You can paint it and it comes with suggested designs. I left it blank because I figured DS will want to paint it himself when he is older. It can be used indoor or out.
