Building dens at playrangers

Throughout the holiday, playrangers is still going on. But instead of 4pm-6pm it is 10am-4pm

This week was den building and fire lighting but we didn’t do fire lighting, which was a bit surprising.

Den building did happen and 3 dens were built. I found an old one that had been made before so I used it. I slashed back nettles and brambles so that I could get in.

Then I added a doorstep from fern and nettles,  I made a toilet which was a dirty plastic bag hung on two branches, my friend made a washing line from a branch. There were two entrances to my den which is useful in case one grows over completely.

The other den was made from hazel sticks; its sticks were across two branches and had leaves on. On one side there was also sticks across it and a little entrance to get through. It was quite good; it was definately windproof and is nearly completely rain proof from all the trees.
