Fortastic Fort Roundup

Whether your kids are seeking shelter from marauding thieves or defending the homestead from vicious dragons, a homemade fort is by far one of the coolest things to build. We love forts because they inspire so much creativity and lend themselves to hours of open-ended play. With pillows, sheets, and other items found around the house, you can easily help your kids construct a fantastic fort. But why stop there? We’ve also found some fabulous “grown-up” forts that offer solace and relaxation. Roughhouse it with the kids or find refuge on your own; our fort roundup will inspire fantasy for all.
