We found the best fort building explorer kit for kids. The times of angling furniture pieces just right, tucking a sheet over, and balancing pillows on top are over. I just recently tried to help my kids make a crawl space so that they could each finally wiggle into a do-it-yourself fort in the living room without knocking the entire contraption over and as fun as that is, my kids get frustrated when their ideas won’t come to life.
Imaginations will soar this holiday season when your family gets their hands on a Fort building kit. Everyone can get in on building a dreamy play space that allows for a structure that will make our old fashioned sheet forts look like child’s play.

MY THOUGHTS
I am always in search of ways to get my kids active. It gets tricky to keep them entertained especially when I want them off of electronics and away from the tv. The fort kits are perfect for my kids 5, 10, and 12. The corrugated cardboard pieces are super sturdy and easy enough that we can both build a fort castle built exactly like they envision it. The pieces allow for the fort to not only look strong but it also feel sturdy, and even with my little ones going in and out constantly, bringing in all their favorite toys, and bumping into the walls along the way. Building the fort is so easy and allows for them to fine tune their hand-eye coordination. The large pieces and easy to fit foam connectors make my daughter feel proud that she can build her own princess castle. The case it comes in is also a great and easy to pack away the fort kit. I can easily slide it under the bed and put the entire kit away for storage when we need the space.
