How to make the best dens indoors
This is a good activity for a rainy day. The secret to good indoor den making is not worrying about the mess. Make it into a camp and spend the night in it too!
What you need:
- Pegs
- Masking tape
- Clean garden canes
- Blankets
- Cushions
- Household objects – chairs, beds, wardrobes, anything!
To make your indoor den:
- To give your den some structure you can tape the garden canes into triangles.
- To make the frame, tape the triangles together. You can make the structure as elaborate as you want.
- Drape the blankets over the structure and use the pegs to keep them in place.
- Fill it with cushions, soft toys, a picnic lunch and even sleeping bags.
