Product reviews for Den Building

I really love this book! It's fun to read for children and adults.  It's colourful, it has a great layout and most importantly inspires you to make. I have amazingly happy memories making as a child, sometimes it was dens in the garden, on rainy days miniature cardboard dens in my bedroom which evolved into half den half sculpture as I grew in size and mind.

Den making is an important part of any kid's childhood, done alone, with friends or as part of a school activity. This book is such a wonderful example of how free materials around us can be used and how other resources can be either recycled or given a new life. The fun vibrant photographs and text help to walk you through each step of den making and gives you the confidence to go on and build independently. 



What I also love about this book is it encourages children to record their ideas, to keep sketch books, draw, write and develop their own designs. These are such important skills that can be used in everyday life and even possible future careers!  It's inspiring and motivating! And as quoted in the book by a famous creative -˜If you dream it, you can do it'
