Thank you ever so much for your review! It's so wonderful to hear that you're happy with your kits and have purchased more!
Delighted grandson
Loved the idea and so did our grandson. Love that he can add bits and pieces to his kit over time. We’re thinking a torch, some camping cutlery, a compass, and he’s planning to borrow a little camping table.

Rip off
I spent £34 on a pulley kit the components of which probably would have cost less than £10 in a hardware store. I should have realised and gone to B&Q

Natural & Authentic Resources
I love authentic & natural resources and enjoy sharing them at Forest School. I am a repeat customer and value every purchase made.
The latest addition to my collection is ‘The Natural Building Block’ set which the Toddlers & Preschoolers tried out for the first time today.

My 5 year old granddaughter was completely engaged with the den kit and build! Perfect for the garden this summer. The Den Kit Company sent friendly and fun advice about their products after purchase, made for a nice online experience. I also bought the etymology kit and craft kit both received with curiosity and then fascination when bugs were viewed in the magnifier pot!

Absolutely brilliant idea!
Absolutely brilliant idea. Our third one I think and such a good present. Excellent customer service too as I inadvertently ordered two by mistake but it was swiftly rectified. My only concern is the courier DPD. We had problems with them before and the driver in this area is not honest! But Jack got his birthday present 🎁 in good time and all was well! Thank you!
