Spotted! Rather Brilliant Den Kit

Just how cool is this? I know three boys who wouldn’t be seen for HOURS once this was placed in their hot little hands. The kit includes a camo stick, great green groundsheet, the haversack, a mallet, 10m rope, 10 holdfast tent pegs, tent peg bag, tough tarpaulin and a handy mug. Oh – and comes complete with instructions on how to build the perfect den. If your children should need such a thing. Sadly, you can’t buy...
