There's plenty to enhance children's sleep and play spaces, including a line of Disney decor items, paint that turns walls into chalkboards, whimsical wallpaper and window coverings, closet organizers, storage bins, rugs and lamps, and a plethora of child safety doodads.

With all the construction materials, chemicals, and small parts stacked high in the aisles or in open bins low down, unsupervised children are in real danger here, so parents should stay on alert. (And while those large shopping carts and rolling pallets just beg to be ridden, it's a no-no.)

Home Depot stores offer free drop-in Kid Workshops, the first Saturday of each month from 9am-12n, for children ages five to 12 accompanied by an adult. Participants build skills and learn about tool safety while making birdhouses, fire trucks, mail organizers, or other items from pre-fab kits; each child also receives a kid-sized Home Depot orange apron and pin.

Two moms - friends and neighbors - brainstormed a way for pint-sized adventurers to find a little space of their own without tearing up living rooms all over the country.

TeePeeforMe is the result - a line of 21 styles of teepees including indoor and outdoor styles and coordinating accessories: tote bags, play mats, pillows, and personalized signs. High quality fabrics come in fun patterns (like Monkey Business, Wild West Red, and Princess Paisley) and the poles are made from durable PVC. The teepees come fully assembled and store easily.

And since the open teepee stands 5.5 ft tall and is 5 feet wide on each side, there's room for parents to play, too!
