Den building

This activity came from a discussion with a parent re her child's interest at home and nursery.

Intent 
When a parent came to collect her child, he started putting the cushions on the floor to hide under.
Adeema explained that he has been doing this a lot during the day. Mum explained that at home he makes dens with the cushions off the settee with his brothers.
