forest huts



Here are some fun ways to build huts in the forest out of branches. There are many possibilities - the basic idea is to use big branches for the frame, to which lighter branches are then added. For the hut's shape, simply ask children to use their imagination!

You can also adapt a hut to a specific location. For example, if there is a fallen tree, it can be used as your hut's girder.
