When we were all young just about any old blanket or box could be turned into a den inside the house, and logs, sticks and any old green stuff served the same purpose in the local woods.

It never occurred to us that den building would become such a focus and almost seen as a dying art as all our Little Trekkers have been doing the same since they could move the cushions off sofas themselves. Yet apparently it’s becoming a lost activity amongst children, so we thought we’d share some den building activities for you to do at home.

All things den-like reside here … send us your ideas and photos and we’ll publish them too!
