Description
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.
