While some have begun venturing out as restrictions have lessened amid the coronavirus pandemic, others may prefer to remain as socially distanced as possible.
So rather than venturing outdoors to camp, they may elect to bring the experience indoors. To help bring that experience to life for children or children at heart, Ikea has unveiled a guide to building tents and forts indoors.
