Building a den is a brilliant back-to-nature challenge, and it’s a great project to get stuck into with a friend or sibling. Den building unlocks creativity, while problem solving!

Time:

30+ Minutes

You will need:

-Lots of long, thick sticks
-String (if making tipi style)
-An old sheet (optional)

Benefits

This is a good test of problem-solving skills that involves your child working out how to balance the sticks and make them stay standing, as well as providing an opportunity to be physically active.

There are no set “instructions” to building a den, this is all about letting your child’s imagination, creativity and problem solving flow.

First, find some thick, long sticks (the more you find, the better!)

How are you going to begin your den, maybe you could start to lean your sticks up against a tree, or by lashing them together with string at the top for a tipi-style den!
