Several side panels from a cot? You could hinge them together so it would be easy to take apart. Changing the number of panels would increase/decrease the size of the 'pen'.

Try friends with slightly older children and freecycle/freegle. Failing that, how about using a very large cardboard box and cutting out "windows" to look out of? Something like this http://www.lulasapphire.com/content/images/products/main/Paperpod/Giant-Cardboard-Play-House/Giant-Cardboard-Play-House-category.jpg but with no roof and no door. And possibly with curtains and flowers and things painted on it.
