The Original Den Kit

£45.00 Sale

The Original Den Kit is a shelter-building kit which offers every child an outdoor experience whatever the weather.  It is designed to capture creative imaginations, encourage resourcefulness and innovation.

Being outdoors - it’s great for our mental and physical health, growth, education and understanding of the world and our place in it. Children thrive in an outdoor environment, which offers them an enduring connection with nature and the freedom to realise their own potential.
