The Dark Den is a simple, affordable way to bring a blacked-out space into any classroom or early years setting. Children crawl inside its 1-metre cube and step into a dark world they can bring to life with torches, glow sticks, fibre optics and other sensory resources. The double-thick nylon skin keeps the space genuinely dark, so every glowing object stands out — and it packs down into its storage bag when the session's over. What's included: 12 den poles and 8 connectors A double-thick nylon den cover for a properly dark space A storage bag for packing away and moving between rooms Features: A 1-metre cube — the right size for one or two children to explore Double-skin nylon blocks out the light for real darkness inside Simple to build and quick to pack away Lightweight and portable between spaces Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use it: Sensory play with torches, light-up toys and glow-in-the-dark resources A calm, quiet retreat for a child who needs a break Role play, drama and storytelling in a space that sets the scene Scientific investigation into light, dark and shadow Special-needs and SEN sensory work Affordable, portable and endlessly adaptable, the Dark Den is a classroom favourite for sensory play, creative work and quiet time alike.

The Giant Dark Den turns a corner of the classroom into a calm, blacked-out space where children can explore light and shadow, settle a busy mind or take part in focused sensory activities. Not every setting has room for a permanent sensory room — this giant pop-up den is the next best thing. It's large enough for a group of children, or for one child who needs a little more space, and roomy enough to hold bubble tubes, fibre-optic strands and other sensory equipment that wouldn't fit inside a smaller den. What's included: Den poles and connectors A thick blackout den covering to keep the light out A storage bag for packing away and transport Features: Giant size — fits a group, or gives one child more room Big enough to hold bubble tubes, fibre-optic strands and light sources Thick cover for a properly dark space, with a large door panel Set it up portrait or landscape to suit your space Use it with the cover for a dark den, or as a giant den frame without it Packs down into the storage bag when it's not needed Dimensions: about 182 cm tall with a base roughly 150 cm square. Suitable for ages 3+. An adult should set it up and pack it away. A flexible, portable way to bring a dark sensory space to any early years or SEN setting — ready when you need it, and packed away when you don't.
