The Den Kit have been making shelter-building kits for children since 2006 (before they were even a ‘thing’) - and as a result, they are producing some rather expert kits! They provide robust, authentic components that both challenge and excite young minds and bodies. Versatile and non-prescribed construction - meaning there’s no wrong way, but a whole load of right ways to build it.
We love the fact they carefully and ethically source components that last.
No batteries.
No single-use plastic.
No ‘pretend’ tools.
Just peace of mind to parents, and our planet.
The original den kit is authentic, real, pukka, bona fide, truly Original Den Kit.
Created especially for the inventive, creative, imaginative, ingenious, truly original you.
