ALL teepees ship fully assembled with ROUND, one piece poles and are ready for use right out of the box! Just spread out the poles and you're ready for your first adventure!
Many thanks to my hardworking, wood working husband and his efforts to supply me with beautiful, round teepee poles. As always, the poles are cut from kiln dried hardwood, then smoothly sanded and left unfinished for a timeless look.
I'm so glad you're here! All of my teepees, mats, chair caddies and accessories are handmade in my own small Wisconsin sewing studio. Nearly all the fabric, trim and thread I use is made in the US and everything you see in my Etsy shops and on my own website is completely handmade in my own small sewing studio in Menomonee Falls, WI. I am proud to use only locally sourced, kiln dried wood for my teepee poles. Even my boxes and tape are made in the USA! Buy with confidence that your teepee is truly handmade in the USA.
My sewing studio strives to be as low waste and eco-friendly as possible. My fabric scraps are donated to local schools and charitable institutions for use. Our packaging is effective (and minimal), using recyclable materials. No plastic bags, no rubber bands, no metal pieces.
Tip Top Teepees are free from harmful toxins and dyes, and contain no flame retardants. They are cut and sewn in my small sewing studio with exceptional attention to quality, safety, and design, using 100% cotton canvas or home decor fabric that is manufactured in the USA. The canvas teepees are made with 100% cotton canvas that is grown and milled in the USA. The home decor fabrics (stripes, polka dots, patterns, etc.) are purchased from an environmentally friendly US fabric manufacturer that uses a water based pigment printing system. Your teepee will ship fully assembled and the poles are ONE PIECE, very important for safe, uninterrupted play.
Your Tip Top Teepee will last a lifetime! You will pass your teepee down, you will NEVER throw it away.
Organic options are also available!!
Why buy a Tip Top Teepee?
♥ Poles are always included. Our poles are heavy, smoothly sanded, round wood poles. We do NOT use the lightweight poplar poles that most teepee sellers use. We use heavier wood for a sturdier, longer lasting, safer teepee.
♥ We are the ONLY US based teepee seller on Etsy that ships canvas teepees fully assembled and ready right out of the box for the first adventure. No assembly required. Just spread out the poles!
♥ NO cheap rope ties that unravel and fray. Heavy duty twill tape ties and lacings with finished edges gives our teepees a professional, well finished look.
♥ NO flame retardants, NO chemical treatments
♥ My sewing studio and our home is pet, smoke and fragrance free.
♥ Full pole pockets to keep the poles firmly in place.
♥ 100% handmade in the USA
♥ 100% cotton canvas or home decor fabric, made in the USA.
♥ 10 oz. minimum weight for canvas, 7 oz. minimum weight for home decor fabrics (stripes, polka dots, etc.).
♥ Smoothly sanded premium wood poles cut and drilled in our own wood shop. We use premium wood for no bending or breaking. No lightweight poplar poles and no bamboo, which is prone to cracks and splinters and can damage your teepee.
♥ Tip Top Teepee poles are ONE PIECE, SOLID WOOD POLES, very important for safe, uninterrupted play. We cut our own poles in our own wood shop! We are proud that our teepees are TRULY handmade from start to finish.
♥ Teepee poles have drilled holes and are tied together with heavy duty ties. NO rubber bands! NO cheap white rope ties! Our ties are made specially from cream colored or white heavy duty twill tape that matches our teepees beautifully and is neatly hemmed for no fraying or ripping.
♥ Featuring a no slide design trick that prevents the teepees from sliding down the poles.
♥ No exposed seams or serged edges. Neat and fully finished seams throughout. Great for photographers!
♥ Always shipped via USPS or FedEx in a sturdy box, specially made for my teepees!
♥ Always made with love for years of imaginative play.
I know how much kids love a special hideaway they can call their own, and I've been delighting the imagination of Etsy kids for many years! Check out my playhouse shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/ThePlayhouseKid Look at my feedback there, you can see that I am committed to creating well made playhouses and, now, teepees!!
You can rest assured that your teepee is touched by as few hands as possible so it arrives to you in pristine condition.
Tip Top Teepees are recommended for mobile children ages two and up.

Frequently asked questions
Is my teepee ready to ship?
Most teepees are ready to ship! Please check individual listings for exact information on shipping times.
Do I have to assemble my teepee?
Absolutely not! ALL teepees are shipped fully assembled and ready for play.
Are there flame retardants or other chemical treatments on this item?
There are no flame retardants or other chemical treatments on any of the teepees, mats, pillow covers or banners you see in my shop.
Can you personalize a teepee?
Absolutely! Click here to add a name: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TipTopTeepeeShop?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=15479178
Can you customize a teepee or banner for me?
Absolutely! I am happy to change the center flag or use special colors on your banner. Just send me a conversation with your ideas! I also accept custom teepee orders for special sizes and colors.
Will my high chair/teepee banner look exactly like the photo?
I do my very best to keep the teepee banners exactly as shown in the photos. However, some fabrics may be out of stock. In that case, I will substitute the fabric with the same color, but any pattern within that color may vary slightly.
Will the burlap and fabric strips on my banner fray?
The great thing about our burlap is that it will not fray! Our special design trick makes the burlap flag two thick layers that resist fraying. The cotton fabric strips may fray slightly, but any frayed ends are easily snipped off with a scissors.
