The Jelly Den - Newsletters

The Jelly Den Newsletter July 08	Indoor/Outdoor Dens

Welcome to the July newsletter,

Do your children like camping? I haven't heard of any that don't.

Those of you who know me will be surprised to see this month's Top 5 featuring tents! Thankfully, these gorgeous tents don't summon up images of shower blocks and burnt sausages for me. They will look great in ANY garden, but could also be fabulous in a playroom, and children just love them.

If your kids sneak your cushions and blankets outside in the summer, to make dens and hideaways, have a look at our suggestions for outdoor cushions, so that you can relax in the knowledge that the sofa has been left untouched, while they have fun.

Have a lovely summer. Happy camping!

Kind regards

Jane

Hanging Around

The Treepee Company

Treepee (also khaki and pink)

A mixture of treehouse, tent, swing and trampoline! Tethers are provided to secure all corners to the ground, if the movement is a little too much.

Pockets inside for storage, and a UV protection of 50 are practical 'stay in there for quite a while' features. Looks like great fun.

Habitat

Geronimo 'Splodge' tent

Not your traditional wigwam, I think this one is particularly suitable for indoors.

Playroom cushions get a particularly tough time don't they?

They spend most of their time on the floor or being chucked about by sticky hands!

Outdoor cushions, made from the

new breed of fabrics that are suitable for the garden/beach (or the washing machine) are a good solution.

John Lewis and Heal's sell cushions for outdoor use, covered in a practical acrylic fabric in stripes and floral, respectively. Garden centres are also a good place to look.

Kids love a beanbag and this one is perfect for more than one to sprawl on. camo

Available from www.splooshbeanbags.co.uk this blue camouflage outdoor lounger also comes in four sizes and 14 colours, starting at £89.79.

These 100% waterproof outdoor smarty cushions in 16 bright colours are from www.rucomfy.co.uk What's not to like? (from £38)

Mattress cushions are a stylish way to sit comfortably and this red spotty one from www.thecontemporaryhome.com (£18.99) has a practical washable cotton cover.

If you fancy making your own soft furnishings, the Crowson Calypso outdoor fabric range can be bought by the metre (www.crowsonfabrics.com for stockists).
