Jo and Kay started the Den Kit Company from their kitchen tables in 2008 because they saw first-hand as mums and teachers the huge benefits of creative, fun & unprescribed outdoor play.

Lots of recent scientific studies now support their belief that outdoor play is so important for children of all ages - for both their mental and physical health.

As the company has grown, so has the team behind it - each one with a vital role in maintaining the integrity of our vision: To inspire wonder and intrigue in the next generation through creative, fun and unprescribed outdoor play.

Our Den Kits were designed to encourage children outside - whether a tiny back garden, on top of a hill, in a meadow, field, forest, beach or balcony. The promise of a hand-crafted space in which to set up a temporary retreat is tempting to children (and adults) of all ages, and with little or no previous den-building experience. No single-use-plastic, no batteries, no complicated instructions - this is inclusive, simple, unadulterated fun.
