4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Tiny Land Teepee Tent:
- Prepare the Poles: Connect the 16 pine pole pieces using the 12 connectors to form 4 long poles. Ensure each connection is secure.
- Insert Poles into Fabric: Slide each assembled long pole into the fabric sleeves of the teepee tent. The bottom ends of the poles should be wrapped by the fabric for extra support.
- Gather and Tie Poles: Gather the top ends of the four poles together. Use the provided rope or string to tie them securely at the top, forming the teepee structure. Ensure the knot is tight to maintain stability.
- Spread the Base: Gently spread the base of the teepee to achieve the desired width and stability. The dimensions are approximately 48 inches wide and 66 inches high when fully set up.
- Place the Padded Mat: Lay the 0.5-inch thick non-slip padded mat inside the teepee. The mat has traction pieces on the bottom to help it stay in place.
- Install Fairy Lights: Drape the 13ft fairy lights around the teepee poles or inside the tent as desired. Ensure the battery pack is placed in a secure, accessible location, away from small children. Insert 3 AA batteries (not included) into the battery pack.

5. Operating Instructions
The Tiny Land Teepee Tent is designed for simple and versatile use:
- Entry and Exit: The front flaps of the teepee can be tied back to keep the entrance open or left loose for a more enclosed space.
- Using the Padded Mat: The included padded mat provides a comfortable and non-slip surface for play. Ensure it is laid flat inside the tent.
- Fairy Lights: Turn the fairy lights on or off using the switch on the battery pack. Replace AA batteries as needed.
- Internal Pockets: Utilize the four internal pockets for storing small toys, books, or other items.
- Folding for Storage: To fold the teepee for storage, untie the top poles, gently bring them together, and collapse the fabric. The tent can then be placed in the canvas carry bag.

6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning the Fabric: The 100% cotton canvas fabric should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry naturally at a low temperature.
- Cleaning the Mat: The padded mat can be spot cleaned or gently hand washed. Air dry thoroughly.
- Poles: Wipe wooden poles with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.
- Storage: When not in use, disassemble the teepee and store all components in the canvas carry bag in a dry, cool place to prevent mildew and damage.
- Fairy Lights: Remove batteries from the fairy lights if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Teepee is unstable or collapses easily. | Poles not securely tied at the top; base not spread wide enough; uneven surface. | Ensure poles are tightly tied together at the top. Spread the base of the teepee to its maximum stable width. Place on a flat, level surface. |
| Fairy lights do not turn on. | Dead batteries; incorrect battery insertion; switch is off. | Check battery orientation and replace with fresh AA batteries. Ensure the switch on the battery pack is in the "ON" position. |
| Mat slides on the floor. | Mat not positioned correctly; floor surface is too smooth. | Ensure the mat's traction pieces are facing down. If on a very smooth surface, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath. |
| Missing parts upon arrival. | Packaging error. | Contact Tiny Land customer service immediately for assistance. |
