Actually the play tents worked well for older kids (3.5-4 years), THAT was actually the reason I bought them to begin with; I had three, 3+ year old girls...
They could quietly read, draw or color during naptime AFTER they woke up (usually about half the sleeping time of the youngers).
The tents worked because the others could not see them and they were less likely to try to wake someone up or play together.
(we MUST all be in the same room)
At that age I am transitioning them to go off to Pre-k, so it is appropriate in my program to cut their nap down to 1 hour instead of the usual 2-3.
That does not work for everyone....
