Wigwam Cane Grips - Set of 2

Facilitate exciting large-scale construction and outdoor engineering with this pack of two Wigwam Cane Grips. These simple yet effective grips provide a safe and stable way to secure the tops of bamboo canes, making it easy for children to create sturdy wigwams, dens, and natural climbing structures. This resource is vital for collaborative play, encouraging children to communicate ideas, share roles, and solve complex spatial problems together. The process of building a den fosters a strong sense of achievement, promotes risk assessment skills, and supports physical development through heavy-duty movement and lifting. Once built, the wigwam becomes a perfect location for imaginative role play, reading nooks, or a quiet space for self-regulation. A fantastic open-ended tool for supporting STEM concepts and outdoor continuous provision. Recommended for ages 3+ with adult supervision.
