One Nugget Builds

The Triangle Tent

The Triangle Tent build is great for a little hideaway to read a book or to pretend you are camping. We love to put blankets on the sides to make it an even better hide away. This is a great one nugget build idea for babies and toddlers to explore crawling under something.

The Hammock

The Hammock is a great lounging position to relax and read a book or watch movies. We also like to pretend it is a rocking boat and we have to get to safety. My kids also like this position to put their baby dolls to sleep in as well.

The Treehouse Slide

The Treehouse slide is a fun build to work on climbing up into the tent shelter and then having fun rolling or sliding down. This is also a fun one to roll cars or balls down the ramp as well.

The High Platform Tent or the Rocket Ship

The High Platform Tent is a fun one to get up high and work on balance while hiding out. We like using this one in pretend play and when we play the floor is lava. We also love to pretend this is a rocket ship and we blast off into space!

The Tent and Car Port House

The Tent and Car port is a fun little fort to use when you are pretending to play house or go camping. We love to drive our cars through the tunnels or park them in the car port section. Then we use stuffed animals to live in the tent section. You can really use your imagination!

The Two Tent Camping Trip Build

The Two Tent Camping Trip build is a fun one to give each child their own separate space. They can have a separate space to play camping or if they are needing some space of their own. You could lay out blankets and pillows under the tents and give them a relaxing area to rest as well.

The Balance Beam or Floor is Lava Build

The Balance Beam or Floor is Lava Build is a fun one to use to challenge your child's balance and coordination. My kids like to try to walk across the middle triangles and hold on or not hold onto the sides of the bases. We like to play the floor is lava and try to make it across the triangle bridges.

The Two Room House

The Two Room House build is another fun one to make two rooms or spaces for your kids to use their imagination!

The Ramp and Jump

The Ramp and Jump is a fun one to keep the build low to the ground and make it a little challenging. This is a great one for younger toddlers or babies to explore. The ramp is always fun to either climb, slide, or roll toys down.

The Platform Staircase

The Platform Staircase is a fun build that is low to the ground. We like to use this for obstacle courses or when we pretend to play video game scenes. This is another great one for younger kids when you want a lower build.

The Pretend Bus or The Reading Lounge

The pretend bus or the reading lounge build is a great one that we use when we like to sing and act out the moves to the wheels on the bus. We pretend one end is the front of the bus and the other is the back of the bus and we act out the motions as we sing. We also love using this one as a reading lounge area as well.

The Wobble Platform and Jump

The Wobble Platform and Jump build is one my kids love to use when they want to do jumping activities. They love to climb up on the higher platform and jump down onto the lower base.

The Super Steep Ramp

The Super Steep Ramp is a fun one to roll cars, trucks, and balls down as it is so high up. We like to put a laundry basket tipped over on the end or use our expandable tunnel to roll stuff down the large ramp.

The Easy Climb Platform or The Stage

The Easy Climb Platform or The Stage build is a great lower build for younger kids. We like this build when the kids were younger and now we like to use this build as a stage for them to pretend singing or acting.

The Tiny Tent or The Balance Board

The Tiny Tent or the Balance board is a fun build where my kids love to hide in a tiny spot. My kids think it is hilarious to hide away in the tiny area. They also like trying to balance on the top base layer as well.

The Climb and Hide Build

The Climb and Hide build is a fun one to make a little fort that they can hide away in. The steeping stones (triangles) make a fun little challenge to get into the hiding spot.

The House with Car Garage

The House with Car garage is a fun build to use when playing house or store. We like to go through the garage port with cars and pretend to play house or store.

The Steep Slope

The Steep Slope is a fun one to work on climbing up and sliding or rolling down the slope. Since you have the padding on the bottom it is a fun one to practice sliding down.

The Hide and Seek Rooms

The hide and seek rooms is another fun one if you feel like your kids are needing a little extra space from each other. We love using this build to pretend to play hide and seek or if we play neighbors. Each kids has their own little house and they can play neighborhood together.

• pretend to be in video games
• a rocket ship

I also love how it provides different structures to help them with their strength, balance, and coordination!

The Mat that we use under our Nugget Builds

We love to keep a little extra padding around our nugget couch since we have hard floors. We use this play mat around our nugget for some extra padding and protection.
