Product reviews for Den Building

Den Building by Jane Hewitt and Cathy Cross is the book every child who loves to make-believe needs. Whether building a den for their toys or making an extreme den out in the woods, this book covers it all. Aimed at kids, Den Building has clear photos, easy to understand guides on materials and resources to use and re-use, instructions on how to create interesting structures, plus exciting ideas for decoration and customisation.



Having read the book it is clear that there is not enough den building going on in my world; there are so many den ideas that look so much fun to create. Using anything and everything, from the table, the washing line, umbrellas, the trampoline and, of course, every den maker's favourite - the humble cardboard box, this book takes den making to another level. Indoors or outdoors, you can make everything from rockets, volcanoes, fashion dens, nature dens, tanks and so much more. Covering dens built just for the afternoon to ones that you will want to keep for weeks, Den Building is a creative guide which will inspire kids - from babies to teenagers - to create magical hideaways; great places to let their imaginations run wild and play in for hours, either alone or with friends.
