A collapsible, folding play structure including wall members which are integrally connected to each other and roof members which are integrally connected to the wall members. Two end roof members lend support to two side roof members which connect to end roof members with tabs. The two side roof members join at the top of the roof with interlocking tabs. The play structure may be folded and stored by folding the roof members outward to the corresponding wall members. The roof and wall members are then folded flat and again folded together to form a flat compact storage state for reuse.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A collapsible play structure comprising:(a) a plurality of wall members each having an erect and a collapsed orientation, each wall member approximately equal in size comprising four sides;wherein said wall members are each a single rigid wall panel;wherein the four sides of each wall member comprise a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, the first and third sides being equal in length, and the second and fourth sides being equal in length;wherein said second and fourth sides of each wall member are connected to an adjacent wall member by at least one approximately vertical fold line;(b) a plurality of roof members each having an erect and a collapsed orientation, each roof member including a plurality of sides including at least a first side and a second side;wherein said roof members include at least a side roof member and an end roof member;wherein the first sides of each roof member are equal in length and the first and second sides of each side roof member are equal in length;wherein said first side of each wall member is connected to said first side of each corresponding roof member by an approximately horizontal fold line;wherein at least two roof members include a connecting means of joining roof members;wherein, said roof members are adapted to fold outward and down to rest against corresponding wall members in the collapsed state; rein the play structure is collapsible by urging a set of opposed vertical fold lines inward so that a set of adjacent wall panels are urged to a substantially co-planar relationship over an approximately equal set of adjacent wall panels urged to a substantially co-planar relationship so that all wall panels are adapted to form a flat configuration; rein said flat configuration is foldable approximately in half at the vertical fold lines located in an approximate middle of the flat configuration so that all wall panels and associated roof panels are urged into a single stack, one panel on top of another; reby said single stack is approximately a same length and height of one said wall panel; and reby the wall members and the associated roof members in the erect state form a rigid, stationary structure.
