DIY Teepees (12 Pack)

Craft it, build it, and play with it! DIY Teepees let kids construct their own mini teepee and decorate it with patterns, colors, and creative details. Perfect for classrooms, camps, and after-school programs—this hands-on build turns into a take-home keepsake kids love to display.

A Build-and-Decorate Teepee Craft That Inspires Imagination

Kids love crafts that turn into something they can actually use—and these mini teepees are exactly that. They build their teepee, decorate it with their own designs, and then keep it for imaginative play, display, or storytelling activities. It’s a perfect blend of engineering and creativity, making it ideal for STEM projects and art stations.

This craft is especially great for camps and classrooms because it feels like a “big project,” but it’s still easy to run in a group setting. Every child ends up with a finished teepee they’re proud of—great for taking home or using as part of a diorama, classroom display, or themed unit project.

Use these for summer camps, imaginative play days, STEM building stations, or classroom projects where kids can create something unique and meaningful.

Why Teachers Love Build-and-Decorate Crafts

Build crafts are powerful because kids learn as they create. Teachers love them for STEM activities, makerspaces, and classroom projects because they encourage problem-solving, patience, and fine motor skills. Kids also love them because the craft feels like a real construction project—not just coloring or gluing.

This project also supports creativity and imagination because each teepee becomes totally unique based on how kids decorate it.
