Planning a sleepover for your child sounds simple—until it’s 9:30pm, someone forgot their toothbrush, and another kid wants to go home.
Don’t worry, we’ve seen it all at Teepee Pop—and we’ve got your back. Here are the real-life things parents forget (but totally shouldn’t), and how you can be 100% ready when those teepee tents go up.
1. Spare Socks and PJs!
Kids spill, get wet, or just forget to bring their own. Keep a few extra pairs of everything, especially socks and PJs to avoid bedtime stress or late-night phone calls to parents.
2. Water Bottles (for every kid)
You’ll be shocked how often kids don’t bring a drink bottle—and you don’t want open cups near mattresses. Prep labeled bottles or reusable cups with lids to keep spills away from your furniture or teepee setup.
Bonus: kids love seeing their name on things. You can even add a little sticker or ribbon to match the sleepover vibe. Hydration + no soggy pillows? Yes, please.
3. Extra Blankets & Pillows
A familiar texture or an extra layer of warmth can make a huge difference—especially if the child is a first-time sleepover guest or tends to get cold. Keep a few throw blankets or plushies nearby just in case anyone needs a bit more comfort (or is missing their teddy from home).
4. Snacks for All Night (Not Just Dinner)
The kitchen WILL get raided. Pre-pack snacks into little boxes or trays per child to avoid the 10pm sugar scramble.
Think: popcorn, fruit, crackers, marshmallows, and maybe a surprise cookie.
Midnight snacks feel like a fun tradition to kids, and planning for them in advance makes it feel even more special.
Bonus tip? Avoid anything too messy or sticky—you’ll thank us later.
5. A Bathroom Game Plan
Someone will forget where the toilet is. Some kids might not want to go alone. Make sure the bathroom is easy to find (especially in the dark), and leave a soft nightlight glowing in the hallway or bathroom itself.
For younger guests, it helps to do a little pre-bed “tour” so they feel confident about where everything is.
Trust us—this tiny detail avoids a LOT of midnight drama.
