I love that when it comes to den building for little ones, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy for them to love it – this little one loves her balls in a box den and that’s a win for us as parents 🙂 Made in our Herefordshire workshop from UK grown chestnut hardwood our frames are extremely durable and long lasting.

I love the mish mash of blankets in this den which is supported by some extra wooden poles on the ends of the bed to keep the blankets held up – it looks super cosy in there!This little one looks very happy with himself and his little corner of the sofa – it just goes to show you don’t need much to make a fun den! I don’t know what it is about a cardboard house, but there’s just something magical about them! This one is beautifully decorated and looks very inviting! What I love about cardboard houses is that they can customised to your child, it can become a project in itself! This is such a lovely girly den – the rainbow balloon and the star projector really transform the whole room and make it look just magical! This is also a great one for babies who will love to watch the lights! I love this classic cardboard box fort – it’s almost like a maze! The use of blankets means you can open up the boxes to make them extra tall and I love the duct tape over the entrance – a lovely finishing touch (and prevents cardboard injuries!) Find 2 good strong trees (or fence posts) about 6ft apart on a flat piece of ground. Lay out the para cord between the two trees and tie each end of the para cord to the trees at chest height.
