Welcome to Flippi, we create beautiful, innovative and high quality products that are designed for children to embrace their childhood and get more from play.
What are Flippi Tents?
Designed to grow with kids and their ever-changing interests, Flippi Tents offer a unique play experience through a versatile, reconfigurable tent frame and beautifully crafted, interchangeable covers that transform play spaces into imaginative worlds.
1 x Frame, 4 x Ways + Interchangeable Covers
The Flippi Frame is at the heart of the system — a clever assembly of poles and connectors that can be configured into four different shapes: Regular Tent, Tall Tent, Cube and Teepee.
Once assembled, the Flippi Frame can be “flipped” using a range of interchangeable Flippi Tent Covers, turning the tent into an imaginative play hub — from a Pizza Restaurant to a Surf Shack, a Hospital, a Fort, and more.
Our Story
Our childhood was filled with imagination — dressing up as princesses, playing doctors and nurses (yes, the ironing board made the perfect operating table!), and building cubbies from blankets and forts from boxes. As sisters, play was always at the heart of our bond.
As adults, our careers took us in different directions. But when we became mothers within a year of each other, everything shifted. Surrounded by toys and trying to keep up with our kids’ ever-changing interests, we began to wonder: What if one toy could do more? What if a play space could become anything?
And so, Flippi was born — a reconfigurable tent with interchangeable covers that act like costumes for spaces. One frame. Countless shapes. Endless ways to play.
Flippi is our answer to cluttered playrooms, fleeting interests, and the magic of imagination that never grows old.
