I do, as someone else said, recommend you buy more than one set so more than one person can fit inside. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration, I think everyone needs to play more.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636388296380511040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-32964175890689761382011-01-18T21:16:51.638-07:002011-01-18T21:16:51.638-07:00Love this post!

I have 2 boys who love forts too. <br /><br />Can't remember where I saw this idea, but you can take a large flat sheet and sew pockets in strategic locations that fit over the backs of dining room chairs to make a fort between them. The pockets go on the outside of the fort, and you need at least 4 chairs, in 2 rows with the backs facing each other. <br /><br />Also, there is an etsy site that sells felt houses (she has many different kinds) that you throw over a card table, sort of like a table cloth, and the fort is underneath. I made one for my boys, and they love it. We used one of those stick on LED lights stuck on the underside of the card table as a mini-overhead light for them.Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573195842670945141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-36399368302961494992011-01-15T21:05:22.910-07:002011-01-15T21:05:22.910-07:00adorable.adorable.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367253838866005395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-66191463936773269772011-01-13T15:13:21.385-07:002011-01-13T15:13:21.385-07:00My 7 year old niece likes crazy forts - but I foun...My 7 year old niece likes crazy forts - but I found for my toddler it's not worth the money.

So you can pick any fabric you like and have cute fabrics and solid colours. And the dowels can be cut longer and shorter so you can make windows and door to crawl through. If you want me to take a photo of the playhouse in the magazine I can. It's really cute. :)Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294221087361329488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-59856071267485523232011-01-10T21:04:31.264-07:002011-01-10T21:04:31.264-07:00My kids build their forts using the couch, cushion...My kids build their forts using the couch, cushions and their bedding on Saturdays.
