Abstract: A toy cardboard tent deployable from a flat, stored configuration including two identically shaped side panels which are integrally connected along a central longitudinal fold line therebetween and a triangular shaped flat back panel. The back panel is securable as by a locking tab and slot arrangement to an upright rear end margin of each side panel. Each side panel preferably includes indicia printed thereon, identical on each side panel, which depicts an animal figure such as a dinosaur or other fanciful figure positioned on each side panel so as to be facing toward a distal upright front end margin of each side panel. Each front end margin is contoured to conform to the forwardly facing profile of the animal or fanciful figure. Peep flaps, vent holes, and a pair of window flaps are also provided.
