Bedroom Talk

My kid's PLAY-HUT has been up for a month now because I do not know how to collapse it. Help!?

I have tried jumping on it, rolling it, squishing it and even the directions on their web site for other sproingy wacko wired contraptions for kids to play with. But, I would like to remove it from the center of my living room, or bedroom, or dining room or wherever we keep moving it to. It is about five feet by five feet by five feet with a domey thing in the middle.

1. They do take a little practice to collapse, and some nerve. i always felt like I was breaking the dumb thing but I never did. I don't know exactly what yours looks like (domey thing?) but here's how you collapse the basic cube: 1. Push one corner inward diagonally until it touches the opposite corner. Basically, you are making an L shaped stucture. 2. Fold the walls together. You can now lay it flat, all four walls are lying atop each other. 3. Grasp two opposite corners -- make sure you're grabbing all four layers & wires -- and twist it to make a figure eight. Then twist it again to make something that looks like an eight with three lobes. 4. Fold one of the outer lobes over the middle lobe. Fold the other one under the middle lobe. 5. Quickly stick the whole thing in the circular carry bag to keep it from popping open again.
