Is there anything more quintessentially childhood than giggling into the wee hours of the night at that first ultra-exciting sleepover with your BFFs?
Smothering each another with pillows doesn’t seem hilarious come morning when parents are cranky over lack of shut-eye yet, somehow, it’s the highlight of your single-digit years.
While round-the-clock gossiping, junk food binging, and goofy photo shoots are obviously key ingredients, taking slumber parties up a notch as kids get older requires next-level theming. From tents to treehouses, here are the trendiest sleepover spot ideas:
Teepee Time
That iconic cone shape draped in blankets and billowing sheets makes Native American-style teepees eternally magical as instant kids’ hideaways. Set one up indoors or out, and watch your imagination ignite.
Line the ground with cushions and cozy bedding, string fairy lights overhead, and scatter in lanterns and books for mystical relaxation nooks. Craft mini versions as totally Insta take-home party favors.
Sleep Under the Stars
When warm weather hits, take the fun outside and camp out backyard-style, either on grass, patios, or trampolines.
Supply camping gear like portable cots or air mattresses, battery-powered string lights, citronella candles, and lots of fluffy pillows and blankets to ward off nighttime chill. Stand back and watch kids bond instantly under the stars without modern tech distractions.
Indoor Fort Building
Arm guests with bedsheets, clothespins, and quilts and unleash them to work in teams, transforming bedrooms into elaborately draped secret hideouts. String up more sheets overhead between tented beds or couch forts to form mazes and tunnels.
Let imaginations run wild, then roar with laughter, navigating the labyrinths by flashlight, trying to find each other in the dark.
Treehouse Havens
Backyard treehouses provide peak platforms for idyllic above-it-all bonding, when sisters, cousins, and BFFs want to escape annoying kid brothers. Set out cushioned loungers or hammocks with twinkle lights woven into branches overhead as magically glowing reading nooks.
Serve snacks and hot cocoa in thermoses out on the balcony in true Swiss Family Robinson style.
