before the fire of 2002, we had this. it was d.r.e.a.m.y.
lately we’ve been seeing the children’s desires to climb and perch and hide…
we embraced it.
for a couple of weeks we used some of our tables, blankets and shelves to make a loft-type structure.
i do miss our old loft a lot, but this worked for while.

My daughter is highly sensitive and very anxious, and climbing and hiding help her to cope. She would adore this! Congrats on a greta future project.

aahhh yes… i’m currently making a proposal to my director to try and get a loft into our room. the other possibility is having my handy husband build one for us, if he can find some space to build in. in the meantime though, i might see what we can rustle up using the furniture we already have…

I really like the old one, but I love the one the kids developed themselves – fantastic bit of den making x

Great way to “fill the gap” for a while and meet the kids’ need. I really like the makeshift loft. And the smiles it is causing.

I read your blog everyday and everyday it makes me want to go back to work. I love how you go with the flow and allow the kids natural curiosity and interests take over, there are many a teacher who would not allow the kids to make their own forts in school. Bravo to you!
