- Step 3: Assemble Castle Tent Frame
Insert the long sticks (poles) into the designated floor sleeves and roof sleeves of the castle tent. The middle connector section of each pole should run along the seam line of the tent. Secure the roof pole at the top of the castle tent.

- Step 4: Expand Tunnel and Cube Tent
The tunnel and cube play tent are designed for pop-up assembly. Carefully remove them from their folded state and allow them to expand. Exercise caution as they may spring open quickly.
- Step 5: Connect Components
Attach the tunnel to the openings of the castle tent and the cube play tent. The openings typically have ties or elastic loops to secure the tunnel in place. Ensure a snug connection to prevent separation during play.
- Step 6: Secure the Tent (Optional for Outdoor Use)
If using the tent outdoors, utilize the provided roof anchors and floor anchors to secure the castle tent to the ground. This will enhance stability and prevent the tent from moving or tipping over in windy conditions.
5. Operating Instructions
The JOYIN Princess Pink Castle Play Tent, Tunnel, and Playhouse offers multiple play configurations:
