The Fort Magic fort kit for kids combines the construction fun of building blocks with the walk-in size of a playhouse. Great for learning and play! In this post, I show how we built a large igloo with the fort kit.
I wrote about Fort Magic a few weeks ago.
About a fort kit for kids that has turned our house into a creative construction zone—in such a good way. It has added a new level of family interaction and collaboration during the building phase and has inspired all kinds of imaginative play afterward.
This fort kit for kids has just been announced as a winner of the Dr. Toy’s Best Classic 2014 Toy Award! Plus they will be featured on the ABC.com TV show Shark Tank tomorrow (Friday, April 18th) at 9pm EST.
If I had a blog post for every time we built something new with Fort Magic, you would be reading about nothing but construction on The Artful Parent.
We’ve used the Fort Kit for Kids to make:
- Castles
- Forts
- A submarine
- Houses
- Teepees (in the backyard)
- A series of tunnels (in the front yard)
Plus the Fort Magic kit has been more than just a fort kit for us.
The construction pieces have been used for:
- Airplane steering wheels
- An alternative to the tin can telephone (the kids rigged up a long series of the tubes to go between two rooms and it worked great for sound travel!)
- Water bead shooters (don’t ask)
- Magic wands
- And, um, possibly swords
Construction is fun, creative, and educational. We all know this, right? Kids are simultaneously learning about science, math, and how the world works.
And if your kids are like mine, they’ll try out some of the forts in the booklet provided, then moved on to their own designs—some workable, some not so much—but that’s part of the learning process.
Building an Igloo with the Fort Kit
Maia and her friend Isabella decided to build an igloo during a playdate yesterday.
While most of our previous Fort Magic construction has been inspired by ideas from the booklet provided (even if we altered a few things here and there) they immediately began building this time without even cracking open the booklet.
The third graders provided most of the manpower (and musical accompaniment) with 4 year old Daphne mostly jumping around, dancing, delivering connector pieces to the older girls, and fitting tubes over each of her fingers.
When they were mostly finished, they stood back and realized that while their roof of their igloo was curved, the walls were all angular.
And so they enlisted Harry’s help…
…to turn their angular igloo into a rounded one using the pieces provided in the fort kit. It worked!
These kids are always so excited about how BIG they can build with this fort kit. I think they’d move into one of these constructions if I let them.
Once the igloo was built, it was time to cover it. With white, of course.
We used some of the extra clips to add a string of white Christmas lights to the Fort Magic fort as we did last time. Just because they make everything more magical.
The girls made water balloon babies (drawing faces on water balloons), donned silly faces that Maia had created, and moved in to the igloo.
Update: They created their own artful floor for the fort with colored tape.

April 17, 2014 at 8:09 amIs it wrong that I like how big this kit is because I can go inside the fort too?! My daughter would love this!
Ashley

Kim

Jenifer
April 17, 2014 at 8:17 amI love the way this looks! I’ve tried some other fort building kits and they were a flop with my kids. This one looks like it hold up and my 9 year old could put it together!
nicole
April 17, 2014 at 8:18 amWe love building forts! Thanks!
Patricia Kronzer
April 17, 2014 at 8:20 amLove the little playhouse design. This is just so fabulous. My kids would be busy for hours.
Santina
April 17, 2014 at 8:20 amI love the vast variety of forts that can be made due to the different shapes and sizes available.
Lucia
April 17, 2014 at 8:22 amLove all of the creative possibilities and the fact that it is good for all ages. Always on the hunt for toys that will have long lasting impact and this certainly seems to be one! Also love the addition of lights to your igloo.
Sara
April 17, 2014 at 8:22 amI would love to bring this home.. My boys would definitely put this awesome toy to some great use!
After visiting the sight, I learned there are over 300 pieces and that there are patterns online. That’s great! I would really love to win this because I definitely cannot afford to buy it. Thank you!
Abi
April 17, 2014 at 8:22 amI love this kit. I think it would be a great learning tool for my daughter, and a lot if fun for us both. This post taught me there are many options when using the kit and also that elementary age kids can manage on their own.
Lara
April 17, 2014 at 8:23 amThis goes way beyond the couch cushions, blankets and chairs we usually use. Awesome!
Raech
April 17, 2014 at 8:24 amI absolutely love this kit – and all of the endless creative play experiences it offers. Kids can learn so much theough building and interacting with this kit. I would love to buy cheap sheets and let them paint them for a fort kit. Thanks for sharing!
Melissa
April 17, 2014 at 8:24 amMy girls are standing right here and they said “Mom, can you make one of those for us!”
Amy
April 17, 2014 at 8:26 amI never realized how versatile these are. My boys are young 3 and 8 mo, but, my oldest is REALLY into building and me, being a mom who “waited” to have my babies, this would be a great bonding experience for all of us.
Peggy
April 17, 2014 at 8:30 amIt looks like fun! I’d love to win it!
Elissa
April 17, 2014 at 8:31 amI love that there are so many patterns, which is perfect for imaginative play. And I love that there are so many pieces, to put in exactly the configuration you choose! What a great idea! We’d have HOURS of fun with this kit! Thank you!
Mary
April 17, 2014 at 8:31 amThe website is fun, almost to fun. I love how you put the fabric cover on, and its cool they are coming out with different fabric covers! I don’t know who would have more fun building all of these- me or the kids.
Robin
April 17, 2014 at 8:34 amWow!! Looks like total FUN!! What a great site, so fun of creating
Megan
April 17, 2014 at 8:36 amHi, I love the forts, but am also wondering when I will receive the book/apron I won 2 months ago?
Lesley Whyard
April 17, 2014 at 8:36 amMy daughter would love this!!!
Janell
April 17, 2014 at 8:38 amI’ve thought about creating a similar kit with bits and bobs of PVC, yet this is so much better!
I was surprised that they do not yet offer supplementary kits (“steering wheel” kit, “flags” kit or what have you). Perhaps they are unnecessary with the enormous base kit.
The biggest problem is cost. One kit is the equivalent of two kids’ bikes with helmets. Yet it’s still half the cost of Lego Mindstorms, so maybe one year it will be what I collect my spare change for :)
Jen
April 17, 2014 at 8:39 amWhat a wonderful gift this would be… hours of constructive time for boys and girls alike. Some of our best home days have been in a homemade fort in the living room… I would LOVE to win this for my kids. I love the versatility of the shapes you can build. Very cool and creative!
Jenn Loznak
April 17, 2014 at 8:40 amI love this especially for my little girl. It will bring out her imagination and get her into building things. This will show that building things is for girls and boys.
Christan
April 17, 2014 at 8:41 amThe fort magic looks so cool! This would be the perfect gift for my children. Thanks for sharing!
Ally
April 17, 2014 at 8:42 amI love that this kit comes with an idea booklet. I think it makes for great leaping off point for kids to explore once they’ve become familiar with some of the capabilities of the materials. I think we will have a blast playing with this! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be sure to look for it in the store near us. Especially with birthday party season upon us!
Max
April 17, 2014 at 8:43 amEndless fun! What a great idea for kids! thank you
Adrienne Peterson
April 17, 2014 at 8:43 amWhat I love most about Fort Magic is their invitation to complete open ended play. I have a five year old and a three year old who are constantly creating boats, submarines, airplanes, and helicopters out of our furniture. I can only imagine what the Fort Magic kit would contribute to their already amazing imaginations.
Lynn
April 17, 2014 at 8:44 amI love the endless possibilities!
Tania
April 17, 2014 at 8:45 amThese look amazing. I love the idea of a gender neutral ‘fort’ that can be reinvented as desired.
Susannah
April 17, 2014 at 8:45 amHow fun! I want to build the rocketship! I am also dreaming of all the ways I could use this in my classroom. The dramatic play area would never be the same!
Thanks for the chance at winning!
Bryant Peterson
April 17, 2014 at 8:46 amI think I get as much enjoyment from my kids toys as they do when we play together after I get home from work. Fort Magic looks like what I tried to build as a boy, only so much better. I can’t wait to build with my kids.
Jesika Roy
April 17, 2014 at 8:48 amI love that this was created by a mom for the creative expression of children!
Meru Aray
April 17, 2014 at 8:48 amTheir website is wonderful! It’s aesthetically pleasing as well as having an easy usability. Even if I don’t win, I plan on setting money aside for my four girls to have this for summer. This will keep them busy all summer long and I think our whole family will have a blast! I also have tons of fabric to drape over them and extra Christmas lights. I’m excited about all the possibilities!!
heather Brady
April 17, 2014 at 8:49 amThis looks like so much fun!
Susannah
April 17, 2014 at 8:50 amNot only would my kids love this, but my K/1 students at school. I can only imagine the real-life learning that could take place using this kit. Awesome!
Claudine
April 17, 2014 at 8:51 amNot only do I loooove the many designs — but I love how that variety will spur kids to see the materials in different ways and create their own designs!
Thanks for the chance to win!
angelina
April 17, 2014 at 8:53 ami’m buying this!!!
Kelly
April 17, 2014 at 8:55 amI love this statement I found on their site, “Passionately Serving The Creative Intelligence Of Growing Children!” What a
Great purpose and what a great thought! All kids have creative intelligence and we are parents and educators need to foster and help children develop that!
Jennifer
April 17, 2014 at 9:00 amWhat kid wouldn’t love this!
Linda
April 17, 2014 at 9:00 amThis is such a fun kit! Would love to build a fort!
Jessica Birthisel
April 17, 2014 at 9:01 amI love the emphasis on the website on helping kids learn that they can complete a big project. My kids would love a set!
Lori Morrison Contreras
April 17, 2014 at 9:02 amI learned from website and your post that there really are unlimited designs and uses for these! F
Sarah
April 17, 2014 at 9:02 amI love how versatile the building materials can be–and the ideas on the website are awesome–I think the canoe is my favorite!
Becca R
April 17, 2014 at 9:03 amThis would be perfect for my 6 year old!
Sarah
April 17, 2014 at 9:03 amI’ve been eyeing fort magic for what seems like forever! :) I love that the clips allow the sheets to stay on!
Shannon @ Cup of Tea Book Reviews
April 17, 2014 at 9:04 amI like that it can change daily and be stored easy!
kelly
April 17, 2014 at 9:06 amI love the unlimited possibilities.
Amy
April 17, 2014 at 9:06 amI love how sturdy this set looks and that there are a ton of pieces- plenty for making taller structures. Looks like my three-year-old and almost 2 year old boys would love it! Also, it’s a toy that could be used for many years.
Ina N
April 17, 2014 at 9:07 amLove love love this for my kids! I was surprised to find out that the kit had separate straight and curved parts, I just thought they were flexible and could bend! Makes sense though, more sturdy that way.
Carrie
April 17, 2014 at 9:07 amI love the rocket and race car. My boys would love this.
Taryn
April 17, 2014 at 9:08 amThese look amazing! We love Shark Tank so I’m sure we would have seen these, but glad I saw this pin before so I can make sure it’s getting recorded. Glad to see they are selling the fabric covers too, though I’m guessing we’d have as much fun without them. Great idea!
Evin
April 17, 2014 at 9:08 amWow! What an amazing item. All the different configurations that can be made and a storage bag to keep it all together. Not only would my own kids love it, but I would love to get one for our Cub Scout pack! We have plenty of fabric to use as covers and the scouts would love to work together to build an amazing fort! Thank you not only for sharing the website and review but also for the great giveaway opportunity!
Nolan R.
April 17, 2014 at 9:09 amI love the fabric clips–kids love to cover their forts in fabric and this shows real thought into what kids want.
jess m
April 17, 2014 at 9:09 amThe ideas they provide are amazing and a great way too get kids started thinking about all the other creations they can make. .. aww let’s be honest, that *I* can make! Who doesn’t love a. Fort! ?!? This would be a great way to get my 2 yo daughter excited about building!
reba
April 17, 2014 at 9:10 amLOVE that it comes with so many options, AND a storage container. Your children’s designs are beautiful, too!!
Preethi
April 17, 2014 at 9:11 amWould love to win this for my son who has special needs!
Kat S.
April 17, 2014 at 9:12 amMy girls would love this! And I love that it’s big enough for me to crawl inside as well.
Kim
April 17, 2014 at 9:13 amI like how many possible configurations there are, and I also like that it can be stored easily, since our house is on the small side!
Christy
April 17, 2014 at 9:18 amMy kids love building forts and creating with LEGOs but they are forever frustrated with their forts disassembling on them. I like the ease of use and the connection pieces which will help them create more confidently.
Lydia
April 17, 2014 at 9:19 amMy kids build forts all the time. They would love this kit.
corrie gregorich
April 17, 2014 at 9:19 amMy girls love imaginative play. The possibilities seem endless with fort magic. They’ll work their little brains but also their little fingers to work on piecing together the parts to build and explore. I love tjis idea!
Rebecca Johnson
April 17, 2014 at 9:19 amSo cool! I love the open ended play possibilities of this kit! My little boy is very imaginative. ..I could see this sparking hours of building and playing!
Kenzie
April 17, 2014 at 9:21 amMy students would love building the pirate ship! :-) Your children did an amazing job with their designs!
Megan G
April 17, 2014 at 9:21 amI love how many different shapes they can make. I try to buy toys that encourage imagination.
Holly
April 17, 2014 at 9:21 amI have been looking at these for some time now. Thank you for the opportunity to win them.
Reanna
April 17, 2014 at 9:22 amI love that the kit comes with curved pieces. It’s so simple but it makes it so much more magical than buying a few PVC pipes and connectors…and the fact that it’s a kit. Part of me says just go to Home Depot and do it yourself, but is never get that checked off my list.
Colleen
April 17, 2014 at 9:22 amThis fort will provide many avenues of imagination during play time. Plus, we can take it on the road with us to family and friends that we are staying with.
Amanda Bekas
April 17, 2014 at 9:25 amHow fun! We have a fort building kit, but it’s not nearly as versatile as this one! I love the different shapes you can build with this set, and it looks easy for kids to assemble. Would love to have one!
Tatiana Balaguer
April 17, 2014 at 9:26 amGreat activity! I hope I win it. My kids would love it!!!!
Karen
April 17, 2014 at 9:27 amI love the curved pieces – they add so many more building design possibilities!
chelsea
April 17, 2014 at 9:28 amA train! That’s what we wild build in my house with this. My boys love forts and trains! :)
Nikki
April 17, 2014 at 9:31 amI love that you can build different structures, not just the same one every time!
Cindy B
April 17, 2014 at 9:33 amI love the creativity of the fort. The learning that is taking place is amazing.
Bethany
April 17, 2014 at 9:34 amThis is SO neat!!!
cindy mcever
April 17, 2014 at 9:36 amHaving a 14 year old boy and an eight year old girl…well they just aren’t always interested in the same things at the same time. But they do share a love of being creative. They both draw and write their own stories. I can see their creativity going in a different direction with one of these kits. And I already repurposed a bunch of sheets from my mom’s attic for us to dye. So, I’m ready. Bring on the fun for our family. Oh we will also be sharing this with my nephews.
Jen
April 17, 2014 at 9:36 amLove the endless possibilities! Amazing what kids will do when their only limit is their imagination.
Julie u
April 17, 2014 at 9:37 amI love how open ended this is! What a great gift!
Elizabeth
April 17, 2014 at 9:37 amThat is such a cool idea! My daughter loves building forts, but ours consist of chairs and blankets! I loved the playhouse fort!!!!
nancy
April 17, 2014 at 9:38 amThis fort looks like lots of fun for great imaginative play.
LindseyTeel
April 17, 2014 at 9:40 amI love that my daughter could play with her cousins: girls boys young old whatever- without any of them getting bored! No worry about it being age-appropriate from toddler to 10!
Michelle
April 17, 2014 at 9:41 amThis is such an awesome idea! My 4 year old daughter would definitely want to build the mansion (castle), and my 8 year old son would be into the space themed designs. I’m sure my 17 year old son would love to help the little kids design new forts.
johnny
April 17, 2014 at 9:42 ammy children would love, what a wonderful [email protected]!

Melanie Browning
April 17, 2014 at 9:45 amI added this to my Christmas list after your first giveaway. I love how big the fort can be, the ease of building and the endless possibilities!
Miranda
April 17, 2014 at 9:46 amThe ideas are endless! I even saw one review on their website showed a Ferris wheel!
Aubrey
April 17, 2014 at 9:46 amI would LOVE to build forts with this. OH, and I’m sure my daughter would it enjoy it as well!

Shaivite
April 17, 2014 at 9:51 amLife size tinker toys – what fun!
Jennifer
April 17, 2014 at 9:55 amLove that it incorporates dramatic play and engineering on such a large scale. While there’s some pretend play in Legos, it isn’t quite on the same level as creating your play house. And then destroying it and rebuilding it!
And the site has a great point that it helps children learn about planning and following through, which can help build confidence.
Annette
April 17, 2014 at 9:56 amLove that they can play inside what they created as opposed to small scale building toys. How fun!
Robin Fargnoli
April 17, 2014 at 10:00 amLooks great, LOVE the pirate ship and airplane designs. What a great way to learn about building through imaginative play!!
--anu
April 17, 2014 at 10:05 amI love how many plans there are even though my kid would come up with her own designs straight away :)
Bridget Turner
April 17, 2014 at 10:07 amSo cool, my kids would love this! So imaginative!
Eve
April 17, 2014 at 10:07 amI’ve seen fort magic pop up on a couple blogs and the creations are always so cool! Very much out of my price range so thank you so much for offering the chance for someone to win one!
Margaret
April 17, 2014 at 10:08 amMy kids would adore this… Esp for inside play during long winter months!
Tori Gamble
April 17, 2014 at 10:08 amI love that when making fort children’s imagination is on go mode! What a great giveaway!
Elizabeth
April 17, 2014 at 10:08 amWhat a neat product! I love that it would span my kids ages 1-9.
Beth garrison
April 17, 2014 at 10:10 amLove that the kit comes with various curved pieces and fabric clips.
Sarah Mudder
April 17, 2014 at 10:11 amI just love the concept in general! The versatility of the pieces is wonderful!
Sandi
April 17, 2014 at 10:20 amMy 20+ daughter wants one! lol! I am actually going to try and get it for her offspring though, it will give them something to do for mommy/daughter time :)
Angie
April 17, 2014 at 10:21 amI have been wanting these. Thanks for offering a giveaway, they are a bit pricey.
Sarah M
April 17, 2014 at 10:22 amI love that there are curved sticks for the fort set, too, so kids can make circular shapes when playing. I loved all the ideas on the website!
Sarah M
Elisa
April 17, 2014 at 10:24 amIt really teaches STEM concepts!
Vanessa
April 17, 2014 at 10:25 amWhat cool designs! My boys (and I) would love this!

brittney
April 17, 2014 at 10:28 amI love love love how this fort kit allows the kids imaginations to go crazy!! Makes me want to build something too!!!
Rachel
April 17, 2014 at 10:29 amAlthough my kids are teenagers, we loved fort building. My sweet aunt works at a preschool. I’d love to see kids enjoy this toy for years to come!
Shifra
April 17, 2014 at 10:34 amI love all the creativity involved in building different things. It’s a great idea to use their suggestions and to allow the kids to make up their own designs.
Christina
April 17, 2014 at 10:35 amThis is awesome! I know my boys will have a blast with this!!
joei tyra
April 17, 2014 at 10:36 amI absolitely love all of the great posts you have had from this awesome kit. I love that fortmagic.com is about to start offering fabric coverings also. I hope I win this for my creative littles!
Amanda B
April 17, 2014 at 10:37 amThis kit is great! I learned that there are many kinds of forts and patterns on the website. Very cool!
Larissa
April 17, 2014 at 10:38 amI love this! My oldest would be over the moon to have something like this. We had a bad experience in buying a Disney tent for her birthday this year but the darn thing didn’t have a chance. The materials were “cheap” and broke right away and she was heartbroken. This would be a great surprise for her to use for her secret hideaways. :)
Sarah
April 17, 2014 at 10:40 amI just love how versatile the kit is!
Andrea
April 17, 2014 at 10:46 amUnlimited designs. Love it. Great for open ended play.
Deanne
April 17, 2014 at 10:47 amI like the teepee idea. My daughter has wanted a teepee in our yard for months. This would be a great way to build play structures. The website is full of fun ideas. What a cool product.
Sarah
April 17, 2014 at 10:49 amWell, the first thing that caught my eye were two cuties I recognized in the bottom right corner!! :) (your girls on the reviews section!)
Kelli Wood
April 17, 2014 at 10:52 amI love that there are so many different things the kids can build! My son is really into space right now so I know he would love making a rocket ship first!!! Thanks for the chance!!
Danzel
April 17, 2014 at 10:52 amThis has to be one of the coolest toys I’ve ever seen. My girls would have a blast with it! I like that they encourage you to use your own sheets and fabric to change things up, too.
Brooklyn Bost
April 17, 2014 at 10:52 amWould really love to win! Incredible toy. :)
Brooklyn Bost
April 17, 2014 at 10:55 amI learned that there is no limit to the creativity of children and this toy fosters that!
Jennifer
April 17, 2014 at 10:54 amI really like how versatile these are. SO many different things can be made.
Janet
April 17, 2014 at 11:02 amNot many things cooler than a fort when you are a kid. Hope to win one for my son!
Alisa Hastie
April 17, 2014 at 11:03 amWow, I didn’t know it had so many pieces, like 382. You can build a lot with that!
Mary S
April 17, 2014 at 11:10 amWhat an amazing kit! My kids would love making these, especially the castle and pirate ship.
Heather
April 17, 2014 at 11:12 amI really like how they have curved pieces. A friend of ours let us borrow their EZ Fort kit and the pieces were straight and very cheaply made and kept breaking. I saw that Fort Magic offers a full warranty which sounds extra appealing, but maybe their pieces aren’t as cheap so they won’t break as easily :]
Janet McVey
April 17, 2014 at 11:14 amLooks like so much fun! It has so many variations available. Great for the developing imagination.
Tara
April 17, 2014 at 11:16 amI would LOVE to win this for my kids! What a blast to create so many different forts all in one! Amazing! Thanks for the chance to win!
Megan
April 17, 2014 at 11:22 amThis is amazing! I love that the sets are huge! It comes with everything you need! I would love this for my boys!
Karla
April 17, 2014 at 11:26 amThe size is great! Wonderful that all can use the fort.

April 17, 2014 at 11:29 amMy kids LOVE making blanket forts! This looks like an incredibly fun way to kick it up a notch!!
Jeanine
April 17, 2014 at 11:30 amWow! Thankss again Jean for offering up this opportunity to your readers, & your Canadian Readers too ;D I went over to check out the Fort Magic Website again and followed their icons to their Pinterest.

Khris
April 17, 2014 at 11:40 amI learned that the shapes and designs my daughter could make are pretty much endless. She would love this, and I know my niece and nephew would, too. Thanks for the chance to win!
Jeanna
April 17, 2014 at 11:41 amI really liked all of the customer reviews and photos! Those kids have awesome imaginations!
becky
April 17, 2014 at 11:41 amI love that this uses kids imagination, not just following printed directions
Heather
April 17, 2014 at 11:41 amsigh. We want one of these kits really badly, but they are rather cost-prohibitive. Maybe for Christmas next year…
Jen
April 17, 2014 at 11:42 amI love the endless possibilities of the fort kit. Each weekend the kiddos could be in a new magical location. I would love to see what their wonderful imaginations would come up with.
michelle
April 17, 2014 at 11:44 amOh my goodness, what a wonderful building set! Our family would love this for sure. My daughter loved the ferris wheel and the teepee with the horse. So much fun and endless possibilities —- thank you for the opportunity to win such a magical kit :)
Danielle
April 17, 2014 at 11:45 amHoly cow! This thing is awesome! My boys would literally go crazy!
Kristen F
April 17, 2014 at 11:47 amI love that there are so many different options to build
Jen
April 17, 2014 at 11:54 amWow, I am amazed at how sturdy it looks. I think my girlie would love making a special place with this kit. Thank you for providing an opportunity to win this.
Sherri
April 17, 2014 at 11:55 amWOW! My boys would absolutely flip out if we win this. We have a similar set – but not as good – not as many pieces and NO curved pieces – which I think is one of the things that makes this set so much more interesting and creative. I loved looking at all the ideas on the website – the submarine was amazing. Pick us!
Heather
April 17, 2014 at 11:56 amHow fun! Our kiddos are little, so imagine Mama and Mommy would have fun “helping” with the building!
Kristie
April 17, 2014 at 11:59 amI like the castle design! I can see my kids really enjoying building and playing in that one :-)
Lisa
April 17, 2014 at 12:02 pmMy kids would absolutely love this! We really could have used this over the long winter. And all the different configurations are wonderful!
leah wall
April 17, 2014 at 12:02 pmI love the versatility – and the fact that it can be put away more easily than the furniture.
Shelley T
April 17, 2014 at 12:02 pmI love this idea! So much better than a fort made from the couch!
Emily
April 17, 2014 at 12:06 pmThis would be great for us, because as I learned on the website, this could grow with my toddlers as we built the more advanced patterns! We would really love to have this product. Definitely going on the wish list!!
Karen T
April 17, 2014 at 12:14 pmI love that the website provides building plans to get you started. I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before my little guy started creating his own plans though!
Christy
April 17, 2014 at 12:14 pmYou can make a ferris wheel. That looks like such a fun kit. My daughter would love this (and so would my husband and myself.)
Kimberly Schotz
April 17, 2014 at 12:25 pmI like how it encourages creativity. So many awesome things to create.
therese lis
April 17, 2014 at 12:26 pmyou can make almost anything
janeen castillo
April 17, 2014 at 12:29 pmForts – the magic that brings my 3 year old & 13 year old together to play in creative bliss
Amanda Burritt
April 17, 2014 at 12:36 pmWhat a cool idea! I love how versatile it is.
Tiffany McGuckin
April 17, 2014 at 12:39 pmSuch a great product! This would be fun for all ages. Love all the different ideas included.
Rachael
April 17, 2014 at 12:39 pmI love the way the kit can inspire such limitless imaginative play! My four would love this. We’ve made a geo dome out of newspaper rolls in the past and that was awesome but took so long rolling the paper and didn’t fare too well when it started to rain…
Amanda Bradley
April 17, 2014 at 12:39 pmI visited Fort Magic’s website and liked…EVERYTHING. : D Seriously, great website, lots of information, perfect product.
Chelsie Butts
April 17, 2014 at 12:46 pmWhat I learned from the website was that my kids shouldn’t use it as a bike ramp. I’m going to have to tuck that information away, because I’m sure it’ll be one of the top 5 things they’d try first. Hehe.
Mary Elizabeth VonDras
April 17, 2014 at 12:53 pmThis Fort system would be a great option for a very personalized “safe place” space for kids on the autism spectrum, who appreciate a personal quiet place at home for when things get stressful. A lot more imaginative than the tent we have set up in our tv room, and a lot easier to sweep out the cookie crumbs! The building component might appeal to my son’s obsession with Legos and broaden his building skills. He’s be thrilled to win a Magic Fort!!! And so would I!
Stephanie
April 17, 2014 at 12:58 pmThe fort building kit looks absolutely fantastic! I love that it gets the kids’ brains going! Thanks for the giveaway!
Marissa
April 17, 2014 at 1:06 pmMy son would totally love one of these!
Jen H
April 17, 2014 at 1:10 pmHow awesome! I think this company is going places. Set my dvr for shark tank!
Tanzel
April 17, 2014 at 1:11 pmThis looks so amazing! My kids would love this .
Cassandra WM
April 17, 2014 at 1:13 pmI love absolutely everything about Fort Magic. For my daughter, I love toys that allow her to use her imagination and be creative, and the open-ended building aspect of Fort Magic definitely encourages that. The fact that it is sturdy enough to be left up for a while or even moved from room to room is a huge plus. Thank you for the chance to win!
Joy
April 17, 2014 at 1:16 pmI love how open ended these can be. It’s great that they have such a variety of instructions but the open ended nature is my favorite.
Elaine Goh
April 17, 2014 at 1:28 pmThe straw forts don’t hold up at all for my 2 active boys … we need this fort king!! Who knew there were curved pipes too? Awesome!
Elizabeth
April 17, 2014 at 1:29 pmI love how versatile the fort is!
Anne perry
April 17, 2014 at 1:34 pmI like the curved pieces.
Sarah Doyle
April 17, 2014 at 1:41 pmThis is incredible! My 4 year old son has autism, he loves having his own space/safe place. A lot of times mom’s forts don’t withstand a long time (he has 3 brothers). This would be amazing for him! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Kate Williams
April 17, 2014 at 1:48 pmMy son would LOVE this. We’ve built some small forts out of an OGO Build kit, but it really doesn’t hold even a light sheet without caving in. This would be great!
Tiffany P
April 17, 2014 at 1:53 pmIt was a nice surprise to see your darling girls peeking out from their fort on the Fort Magic website! :)
I looked through the building plans. The rocket and submarine would be the first to be constructed at our house! What a great variety of building ideas. Awesome product. Thanks for the giveaway!
Toni Smith
April 17, 2014 at 1:55 pmI love the open-ended play this fort kit invites! My 3 year old and 1 year old love forts big and small – I would love to indulge their creative little minds with this!
Angie
April 17, 2014 at 1:58 pmI love this! My son loves playing inside forts and we would love to make the submarine!
Diane Duppman
April 17, 2014 at 2:02 pmWow! This looks like a fantastic way to use your imagination, my granddaughter is already taking trips to the moon and meeting friendly aliens. This would offer her many hours of fun while on her journeys in the wonderful world of her imagination. Maybe I will get to go along with her!
Belinda
April 17, 2014 at 2:05 pmMy kids would love this set.
Jennifer
April 17, 2014 at 2:06 pmMy couch cushions might finally stay in place if my kids had this!
Amber Alexander
April 17, 2014 at 2:13 pmIt looks like a lot of fun to get the kids to help putting it together.
B Ma
April 17, 2014 at 2:17 pmMy 15 mn old loves hiding under blankets so I’m sure this will be a treat for him.
Mandi

Laura
April 17, 2014 at 2:39 pmMy daughter is always making little environments out if blankets and pillows. We would LOVE this!
Sam Mueller
April 17, 2014 at 2:42 pmOh my goodness! My daughters and I love building forts together! It would be so much easier with this kit- and our walls would have less thumb tack holes in them. :)
Mariah
April 17, 2014 at 2:48 pmMy boys would love that.
ruth
April 17, 2014 at 2:55 pmI love that this is big enough for my 8 year old daughter to use. She loves forts.
Carissa
April 17, 2014 at 2:57 pmMy 4 year old has a birthday coming up soon, this is perfect. I love that there are curved pieces, it makes building so much more complex.
Alison
April 17, 2014 at 2:59 pmEndless creative possibilities:) love it
Tricia
April 17, 2014 at 3:16 pmMy boys were looking over my shoulder while I was checking out Fort Magic’s website and saying how cool and how easy those forts look to make! I would have thought those structures would need more than just the poles and connectors provided!
Lori Jackson
April 17, 2014 at 3:32 pmMy son would love the rocket ship…wow what hours of imaginative play this would provide!!
Pallavi
April 17, 2014 at 3:32 pmSo cool! My kids love building forts out of pillows and blankets. The fort kit is so open ended, the construction possibilities are endless!
tammy cordery
April 17, 2014 at 3:48 pmMy kids will love this I will be the best mommy ever.

Sharon
April 17, 2014 at 4:35 pmI absolutely LOVE THIS! My kids love to build forts but get so frustrated with our chairs and blankets method. Everything always falls apart so easily. This would stir their creativity in so many ways. I think everyone should have one of these for their kids. Absolutely great!
Kristin
April 17, 2014 at 4:38 pmThis is an awesome giveaway and I would love to win it for my little one. Thank you so much for sharing!
katie

Amy
April 17, 2014 at 5:18 pmMy son enjoys the straw building set you talked about, and I’m sure he would love this fort set. it looks even sturdier than the straw construction kit. This would make him an awesome birthday present. (He turns 6 tomorrow!)
Kim
April 17, 2014 at 5:27 pmMy girls would love love love this! What a great way to kick off spring!
Susie
April 17, 2014 at 5:27 pmMy kids take every chair in the house, all the blankets, and spare side tables to make huge and creative forts. I’d love this kit so they wouldn’t have to put the chairs away every time.
Anna Sandberg
April 17, 2014 at 5:50 pmOmg, that looks like so much fun with endless construction possibilities! My son would be so excited to play with it!
A. Weather
April 17, 2014 at 5:59 pmThis looks so cool!

April 17, 2014 at 5:59 pmNot sure who would like this more – the parents or the kids! i especially want to make the little car to walk in ;c) how wonderful!
Barb

April 17, 2014 at 6:38 pmThis would be awesome for a mother/daughter activity for me and my little girl. :) She loves forts and would love it even more if she could have mommy in her fort to read to her!
Julie B
April 17, 2014 at 6:59 pmI’ve been to their site before and the forts look SO COOL! My kids (and I:) would love to have one!
Candaceiw

Nikki Cochran
April 17, 2014 at 10:52 pmI like that the children are not limited to the ideas in the booklet. My kids would love the kit. So many endless opportunities for pretend play.

Ana Alvarez-Lundvick

Jennifer
April 18, 2014 at 12:16 amI love the submarine one too. looks like so much fun.
Cara
April 18, 2014 at 12:32 amI love that it puts real thought and consequence into the act of building the fort. It’s learning how a structure is made and supported. I also love that this allows for integrated learning and limitless opportunities…
Thanks for the chance to play!
Nicole
April 18, 2014 at 12:49 amI love all the possibilities! I appreciate that it comes with a book of ideas, but love that it’s also incredibly open-ended. My sons would love this!
christine
April 18, 2014 at 1:21 amWow, what a great way to support the imagination. I love all the options the website shows.
tomoko
April 18, 2014 at 2:04 amInfinite possibility… All my daughters would need it this kit and a light weight scarf and/or blanket.
Nisha
April 18, 2014 at 2:09 amI love that there are so many possibilities not only for building unique structures, but also for decorating them. They also seem so sturdy! Love it!
Anna D
April 18, 2014 at 2:21 amThis looks amazing! I already have some ideas!
Jen Lieb
April 18, 2014 at 6:58 amThis looks SO cool. I was surprised to see on the Web site how easily it comes apart and stows! Easy clean-ups are good for all. Thanks for sharing.
Alana
April 18, 2014 at 7:09 amWow , so cool! We need this for our house :D
Alana
April 18, 2014 at 7:12 amI love how versatile this is and that they give a starting point in the form of an idea book. Creativity knows no limits!
Leigh-Ann
April 18, 2014 at 7:36 amI love toys that let kids use their imagination – so many toys have limited play value, and the fort kit looks like it has limitless possibilities. Perfect for my 6yr old and the 7 and 3yr old kids I nanny for. :)
Laura
April 18, 2014 at 7:57 amI love how many different things this kit can make! My kids would love the castle & rocket!
Min
April 18, 2014 at 8:10 amThe kids I teach would love this!
Jennifer
April 18, 2014 at 8:30 amI love all the variety! and that you use your own materials… plus i like that its not a big plastic shell like a lot of playforts are… makes things much healthier!
Cassandra Redding
April 18, 2014 at 8:31 amOoh! I am excited to see that they will be offering fabrics soon, as well. The whole thing really is genius. I hope they do fabulously on Shark Tank!
katelyn graves
April 18, 2014 at 10:25 amI love that the kit comes with everything you need. No need for add ons or extras to make all the fun forts that you see in their pictures!
heidi
April 18, 2014 at 10:45 amEndless possibilities! Love the submarine!!
Leigh
April 18, 2014 at 11:34 amI love that you don’t need an add on to built any of the amazing things they show.
Rachel Rich-Shea
April 18, 2014 at 11:40 amThe airplane fort looks fun! My husband is a pilot, so my son would have fun doing this one with his dad!
Amanda
April 18, 2014 at 11:49 amLove this! If we had a Fort Magic, I wouldn’t be cleaning up the “everything but the kitchen sink” style forts my kids are fond of, and I could quit refereeing the yes/no of my decorator throw pillows etc etc!
aatz
April 18, 2014 at 12:01 pmMy three girls would love this. They are always making tents with my scarfs. It would be awesome for them to have some real experience.
Kim
April 18, 2014 at 12:15 pmMy daughters would absolutely love this!
Julia
April 18, 2014 at 12:25 pmI like that the basic fort design shows how to build a tunnel, a great way to expand on a design the kids already love! And a fun way to involve the littlest ones with the tunnel as well!
Miriam Prantner
April 18, 2014 at 12:28 pmI love that there are curved pieces and the variety of things you can make – from castles to cars, is really wonderful.
Jacki Brunson
April 18, 2014 at 2:29 pmSo cool that you can make any kind of fort imaginable!
Nicole M
April 18, 2014 at 2:39 pmI love that there are so many ways to build different shape but you can build your own idea too.
Jill Weng
April 18, 2014 at 3:16 pmThis looks so cool! I especially love the curtains covered fort, it looks so dreamy!
Brandy
April 18, 2014 at 3:29 pmThis is so awesome, I wish I’d seen this years ago! I can never seem to build a proper fort for the kids. I can’t believe the number of designs there are. My fingers are crossed because this would be so loved by all the kids (and we have a houseful!)
charla g.
April 18, 2014 at 3:30 pmI learned how their really are limitless possibilities for how to use the Fort Magic kit. It is for far more than just forts.
shannon
April 18, 2014 at 3:51 pmMy boys will love this the baby too when hes bigger
Karin
April 18, 2014 at 3:54 pmNOW THIS is a cool fort building kit!!!!!! I am so excited about this! I wanted to get one of the other toys like this for my girls for Christmas but I did not because they looked to chintzy and small! This LOOKS AMAZING!!! The possibilities are endless! I see a lot of creative forts in my near future! Amazing post and giveaway! Thank you soooo much!
Courtney
April 18, 2014 at 4:06 pmI love that it comes with the fabric clips. The hardest part of fort building is trying to get the blankets and fabric to stay put! My girls would love the pirate ship.
Kacee
April 18, 2014 at 4:43 pmThanks for the giveaway! My kids would love this. Who knew you can build a rockets hip!!
Laura D
April 18, 2014 at 5:24 pmI love the endless options w. this toy.
Catt
April 18, 2014 at 5:31 pmI love that its compact, yet can build structures large enough to play inside. I like the curved sections and that you can clip fabric easily on them. Our forts always have sheets slipping off.
Olivia
April 18, 2014 at 6:02 pmI love how Fort Magic teaches kids engineering and problem-solving skills along with creativity.
Agnes
April 18, 2014 at 7:20 pmI like how easy it is to connect the sticks together. I would also get the fabric clips; we have lots of fabric we can use to cover the fort!
Mary Beth Galloway
April 18, 2014 at 7:21 pmI love this….so many pieces, sizes, fabric clips! You can create so many different things and roomy forts. Storage bag too. Awesome.
Tiffany McSherry
April 18, 2014 at 8:47 pmMy son (and husband) would love playing with this!
Gina Lane
April 18, 2014 at 9:03 pmSo cute. I love the castle but I bet my son would dig the airplane.
Rachel
April 18, 2014 at 9:37 pmI love that one kit can be made into so many different forts!
martin cyr
April 18, 2014 at 9:50 pmThis would take fort building to a whole new level! I love the submarine!
Gina
April 18, 2014 at 9:51 pmI learned that they don’t come with fabric and you have to use your own.
Rita
April 18, 2014 at 10:17 pmThis is an amazing toy. I like how there are endless possibilities. I think my daughter would love the Fort Magic Mansion.
Erin l.
April 18, 2014 at 10:25 pmLooks like a great versatile kit to inspire lots of imaginative play. The fabric clips are a great addition. We are always struggling to keep the blanket roofs on the forts the kids build in the living room.
tanya
April 18, 2014 at 10:40 pmI’m really amazed at the size and versatility of this set!
Tiffany
April 19, 2014 at 12:21 amMy kids love building castles.
Epiphius
April 19, 2014 at 3:03 amI have a different system for building large forts, but I LOVE how much sturdier these are! Ours can support silk coverings but nothing with any weight. Fort Magic is so much stronger and would do the job I wanted our other kit to actually do!
Beth
April 19, 2014 at 3:22 amWhat a neat idea! My daughter would love this.
Laura
April 19, 2014 at 8:07 amThanks for sharing all the pictures
Adriana Ochoa

April 19, 2014 at 9:39 amI love how creative this is for kids of all ages. We would have a ball using our imagination to make our “spaces”.

April 19, 2014 at 12:57 pmWhat a wonderful product! My kids love to make forts with our dining table and sheets but I love all the options that are possible with the Fort Magic.
Kristan Price
April 19, 2014 at 1:00 pmWe love how many different forts can be made with the same kit. The kids would have so much fun designing their own too!
Sarah
April 19, 2014 at 1:16 pmI think watching my 3 kids work together to build and build things they can all enjoy would be thrilling to watch. And , such an addition to our homeschool. We could build a roman arena, or Stonehenge, or an Egyptian tomb!
blima
April 19, 2014 at 1:16 pmI love how versatile it is
erin
April 19, 2014 at 2:18 pmthe amount of pieces that come with the set is amazing!! my daughter and son would love this!!

keira
April 19, 2014 at 3:54 pmFirst comment didn’t show up. Looks like fun for the adult helpers too.
Savannah
April 19, 2014 at 4:00 pmWow! Fort Magic provides open ended and imaginative play for the whole family. I like how they have a section on their website about using sheets and blankets with their clips as well as how to make your own covers even though they are going to be selling their own. And they have so many different forts to build from castles to boats to make up your own! Hours of fun for all!
Michelle Harrison
April 19, 2014 at 4:25 pmI learned their coming out with covers soon. Neat!
Maiz
April 19, 2014 at 5:49 pmI’ve been admiring this online for a while, I’m so excited to see what a hit it has been with your kids! I know my boys would love it.
Jenny
April 19, 2014 at 6:25 pmThese look amazing, I have tried finding one to buy in the UK but can’t.
Michele
April 19, 2014 at 8:16 pmMy kids build forts all the time. They primarily use couch cushions and blankets. We are getting ready to get a new couch and I was wondering what we could use instead of couch cushions, so the new ones will stay nicer longer. This is the answer!
Nikole M.
April 19, 2014 at 8:46 pmI like how this lets the kids use their imagination. I can see my kids having tons of fun with this and it being played with all the time.
Jamie Leopold
April 19, 2014 at 9:43 pmWe recently bought the straw building set you recommended but I think fort magic would be a lot stronger for my rowdy bunch! Thanks for a chance to win it.
Tricia
April 19, 2014 at 11:57 pmThe thing about our current construction stuff is, how on earth do you attach a sheet? Problem solved, fort magic!
Sherah
April 20, 2014 at 1:35 amThanks for the giveaway! :)
I like that you can build such large structures, use any fabric cover, and that the set comes with fabric clips.
Jacqueline
April 20, 2014 at 4:24 amI really like that they have curved pieces.
Tara I
April 20, 2014 at 5:03 amAs a proud Auntie of 9 nieces and nephews, ranging in age from newborn to teenager, it’s really difficult to find toys that inspire creative learning at various ages. The Fort Magic is so cool that even I want one to play with! :)
Beth
April 20, 2014 at 7:29 amMy girls love to build things. I love the diversity that the fort magic product can give to young imaginations!
Martha
April 20, 2014 at 7:35 amLove all the many combinations you and your child can create

Jennifer Winter
April 20, 2014 at 8:10 amI love that there’s so much more to make than just forts too. I saw so many different ideas on the website. My son’s imagination would go crazy with this!
Ami
April 20, 2014 at 8:12 amMy girls and I would enjoy building all of the different forts featured on the website. I love how you can refer to the website to get instructions on how to build anything from an airplane to a tee pee! This would keep us busy all summer long, both inside and outside!
MIchelle
April 20, 2014 at 8:30 amWe have a similar set, kind of like giant tinker toys, which we have also used to “build big!” But the For Magic set is so much more versatile! I loved seeing photos on the website of real families using Fort Magic in their homes. That’s a great way to promote the product, but I also think kids love having that space to show off their work! Thanks for a cool giveaway!
Deena
April 20, 2014 at 11:18 amWhat a wonderful open ended toy. We would feel so blessed if we won!!!
amme
April 20, 2014 at 11:51 amMy 3 girls would love this! I am no good at making forts!!
Eleanor
April 20, 2014 at 11:59 amThese kits are great! My kids love building forts in the woods, and one of these would really take it to the next level!
Aly S
April 20, 2014 at 1:39 pmThis seems like a great step up from the play tunnels that we used when my kids were smaller. I’m particularly intrigued by the clip system for holding the fabric coverings on.
Whitnie
April 20, 2014 at 2:22 pmThis is an amazing product! I love the picture of your chandelier!!!! Fort Magic indeed.
Jenn
April 20, 2014 at 3:01 pmI love how many different cool structures you can make and how it can appeal to such a wide range of ages. My kids would just love this!
Jenn

parnella
April 20, 2014 at 10:28 pmI like curve pieces and fabric clips. My kids like to build. They would love this fort kit.
Birdiebee
April 20, 2014 at 10:54 pmI have visited this website so many times in the past three months. I love all of the ideas of the fort you can make but still love the castle first and recently just read about making a lemonade stand. I would love to have one of these for all of my grandchildren.
Trish
April 21, 2014 at 12:54 amLove these and the unlimited use of kid’s imagination when playing with this!
Sarah
April 21, 2014 at 1:16 amI love the different designs available online as well as the tips for creative custom covers.

Carrie
April 21, 2014 at 11:13 amOh my gosh. . . the pirate ship! So many fun ideas. <3
Cheryl Growe
April 21, 2014 at 6:33 amHi! I am really impressed with the quality of the pieces of this kit. I bought a fort kit from Discovery Kids a few years ago, but it was very flimsy. I also love that they include an instruction book – I noticed that it tells you exactly what pieces to have on hand ahead of time. By any chance, did the mesh bag that you show in one of your pictures come with it to hold all of the pieces? Or is that something that you came up with to keep things organized? Thanks for a great idea!
Jean Van't Hul
April 21, 2014 at 8:18 amCheryl, the mesh bag came with the kit! It’s very sturdy and holds everything quite well. We also use gallon-sized freezer bags to hold the connector pieces and the fabric clips and then toss those in the big mesh bag as well.
Tannis
April 21, 2014 at 8:12 amThis kit looks amazing and far more sturdier than the other brand on the market. There has been some failed fort making in the house and now requests for a tree house in the backyard (we have no trees in our yard). This kit would fit the bill for indoor and outdoor play.
Jennifer
April 21, 2014 at 8:30 amWould love this for my preschool classroom!
Michelle
April 21, 2014 at 8:46 amThis would be fantastic in my kindergarten room. The kiddos would love to read in a pirate ship or a castle!! The tepee would be great during our explorers Unit!
addie
April 21, 2014 at 11:05 amwow! i like that there are so many possibilities! this would be a great alternative to having the couch pillows piled on the floor all the time :)
Kelly A
April 21, 2014 at 11:44 amI liked the circle windows or steering wheels and whatever else the kids would design with the curved pieces.
Tanya
April 21, 2014 at 12:41 pmI like that there are lots of ‘jumping off’ points for guiding play on their website. I would love to have my daughter build forts (and space ships!) while still keeping the cushions on my sofa! Thanks for the opportunity.
Rose
April 21, 2014 at 1:17 pmI have two daughters and they love to build forts – but this kit would help them take their creations to the next level. It looks amazing!
Poorva
April 21, 2014 at 2:08 pmFort magic kit is absolutely fantastic, not only for kids but adults to. I am an architect by profession and I cannot tell you for how many fun and creative projects can we use this product, from tents to props for stalls. My 4 year old who is in to pretend play all the time will love this product. I just arranged for an afternoon play date outside with a old play tent and she can’t wait to get started. I am sure she and her neighborhood friends will take pretend play to another level if they would have a fort magic to play with.
I wonder if they will come up with miniature version of it so that my daughter and her friends can make one for her dolls too. My niece who has developmental delays will love fort magic too. She is learning to snap things together currently. I would really appreciate if I can get this product to try and pass on the info to my sister and friends in my daughter play circle.
Brittany
April 21, 2014 at 2:14 pmI love the creativity and imagination that can be experienced!
Julie B
April 21, 2014 at 2:52 pmMy kids would LOVE this!
Ashley
April 21, 2014 at 4:15 pmWe have 5 kids- the oldest is 9. I like that he can play with his sisters (7,5,4,1) and be the “leader” on the project that THEY ask him to build. Any chance I can get them to work together peacefully is a score for me!
Susy L.
April 21, 2014 at 4:57 pmI love fun, open ended toys for my children! Fort Magic looks like a winner for us!
EJ
April 21, 2014 at 5:44 pmReally love how flexible the design aspects are to allow kids to be as creative as they like! Would love to have a kit for my kids!
Toni Johnson
April 21, 2014 at 7:31 pmThis is genius! Oh the imagination, oh the creativity, oh the geometry!! Now that I’ve seen this, I’m so glad I didn’t buy a teepee yet :) My kids and husband and I would enjoy this for years!
Kameron
April 21, 2014 at 7:43 pmWe are really committed to only bringing in new toys that inspire creativity and exercise the imaginations of our three boys. I can’t think of anything better than this fort kit for them! Thank you for the give away!

Leah Senior
April 22, 2014 at 2:53 pmI’ve been daydreaming about Fort Magic since the first time you mentioned it! My kids would love it. I love how sturdy it is and that it includes clips to hold the fabric in place.
Susan Norborg
April 22, 2014 at 2:56 pmSuch a great way to encourage creativity and help kids see that there are so many ways to build a fort, all you have to do is try.
Mary
April 22, 2014 at 3:16 pmI’d love one of these kits ! I learned there are 130 clips. Wow :)

Love how you can follow directions OR follow your imagination!
Jen
April 22, 2014 at 8:21 pmI thought you had to purchase multiple sets to be able to build anything sizable. Can’t believe what huge structures one can create with the basic kit!
Anne Marie @ The Oklahoma Texan
April 22, 2014 at 11:34 pmWow! My little guy would LOVE this! He’s often bringing me blankets and asking to build a “fork.” It’s a pain to drag chairs into the living room to do this. I had no idea this product exists!
Christine BAUE
April 23, 2014 at 12:08 amAll 4 of my kids would love this, but especially my architect wanna-be !
Rachel McBride
April 23, 2014 at 5:46 amThis is so great! Much easier for the kids to manage by themselves compared to moving all of our heavy chairs around.

Angelina
April 23, 2014 at 9:35 amLove that it inspires creativity and imagination.
Erin
April 23, 2014 at 12:23 pmThanks for sharing. Something like this would be great in our house. Our couch cushions often get appropriated for a fort– gets a little old sitting on a hard couch.
Lisa
April 23, 2014 at 4:03 pmI love that it can be for a boy and a girl! What fun!…for all ages!!
Marilyn Legault
April 23, 2014 at 5:20 pmI learned you can build anything, even submarines and air planes. great kit.

Amber Massengill
April 23, 2014 at 5:34 pmWe have been wanting Fort Magic for a while, but just can’t afford it right now. I am so hoping we win! I want to set up lights inside of it to make it a magical princess fort for my girls. :)
shanda f
April 23, 2014 at 5:36 pmI love the versatility of this kit. They give you a book of ideas to try but really you can take it and make so many different things
Aly Kantor
April 23, 2014 at 5:37 pmI was in AWE of this the first time I saw it on your blog, and I’m still in awe of it now! I HAVE to enter, because I’d never be able to afford this on my own and it is just TOO COOL!!! Can you imagine all the large construction projects, the blue prints and drawing from observation, the planning, the opportunities for thematic dramatic play – gahhh! Pre-K needs this! FINGERS CROSSED!!!
Gabrielle
April 23, 2014 at 5:37 pmI love then endless possibilities!! So much fun!

Andrea Mahoney
April 23, 2014 at 5:56 pmOh my goodness I have been watching all the fun and innovative reviews on Fort Magic and each one makes me want this even more for our home school family! We try our best to build forts with rope and clothespins, but we are limited with what we have. I love all the shapes of poles and the clips to hold the fabric. I really hope this is something we can add to our fun days of learning, and to read in ;-)
Steven K
April 23, 2014 at 5:56 pmWe enjoy building forts and would appreciate trying out the components in this kit!

Viv Sluys
April 23, 2014 at 6:29 pmI like that it comes with fabric clips so the blankets (or whatever fabric) don’t keep slipping off. I also love that there are tonnes of designs you can make with these, whether you are a creative builder or not!
Amanda Kincaid

April 23, 2014 at 9:27 pmI recall someone once commenting on Facebook that this kit is expensive. That it is. But after starting to put together my own hack of this kit with pvc plumbing components, I can see what a value the kit is. The number of connectors and the curved tubing give so many options. I would love for my girls to play with this kit.

April 23, 2014 at 9:33 pmI love that with the fort kit you can custom build your fort or use the website to follow steps and copy one from there to your liking, it can be small it can be big and the amount of possibilities are endless. I think my daughter would have such a blast with this, it would take up a large part of her day. haha

April 23, 2014 at 9:37 pmWant it! I might have even more fun with it than my kids. I love the different pieces you can build with. The different things you can construct are amazing!

Ruth
April 23, 2014 at 9:44 pmI learned that the company and fort emphasize a love of learning. Can’t get better than that. And who doesn’t love a fort?!??
Michelle Cameron
April 23, 2014 at 9:47 pmI love all the different ways the kids can use this kit to build. It looks so fun and keeps minds actively engaged without batteries or any kind of screen. My kids would enjoy playing with this for hours, days, years!
Ivania
April 23, 2014 at 9:47 pmOh my gosh, you can build 101 structures with this?!! My 7 yr old twin girls would absolutely LOVE this! I can see baby sis who is 5 just dancing nearby while big sisters constructed this too! :).

Dawn
April 23, 2014 at 9:50 pmMy husband and 3 kiddos played with a Fort Magic set in a museum in MI. I had to drag them away after an hour, they were having so much fun! Two of my 3 kiddos are budding engineers & would love being able to build BIG!

April 23, 2014 at 9:50 pmFort magic is popping up everywhere. I love the pirate ship idea. My 2 boys would love this
Kirsten
April 23, 2014 at 9:50 pmI loved building forts as a kid and still love building them with my kiddos as an adult. We would love to play with this!

Meaghan
April 23, 2014 at 9:52 pmI love the sense of wonder than could be instilled with this kit. The endless possibilities of creating large-scale structures to engage my children’s imagination, not to mention the fact that I could easily fit inside with them, gets me excited to play together. I love the teepee, as basic as it is. I can envision it in my yard this summer with a tarp as the sides, listening to a warm summer rain pound down around us.

April 23, 2014 at 9:55 pmThe possibilities seem endless with this kit. I would love for my kids to try out all of the different things shown on the website and some of their own creations! What a fabulous giveaway!
Marin
April 23, 2014 at 9:55 pmMy six year old would love working with his mind and hands to create with this! How cool!
Rebecca
April 23, 2014 at 9:58 pmI love that this allows for total open-ended, imaginative play, but also has some ideas and even design plans to follow.
Jenn deLeon
April 23, 2014 at 10:03 pmThese are awesome! I love the playhouse, the castle, and the car! I think my girls would love those!
Chris S.
April 23, 2014 at 10:05 pmI am amazed at the many possible fort configurations! Their ideas are amazing! My daughter would swoon over the princess castle configuration! And it almost looks like I can fit inside too!! Thank you for the chance to win a kit!!!

April 23, 2014 at 10:17 pmI can’t wait for the fabric covers!!!
Stacy Esquibel
April 23, 2014 at 10:19 pmLove they come with 382 pieces for the kit I looked at which is better than under 50 which doesn’t do much.
Leigh Strauss
April 23, 2014 at 10:19 pmI learned that the interesting thing about this company is that they really value the creativity of each individual. They strive to nurture the uniqueness of each child and seem to put that thought into the forefront of the company mission. As for the product, I like that they put so many ideas and suggestions on their website (including many Artful Parent photos), to get a new user started with building forts. Learning how to use is a good springboard for future one-of-a-kind creations.
Nicki Rose
April 23, 2014 at 10:20 pmThis is the coolest thing!! I had no idea there was such a thing. Thanks so much for sharing and for the give-a-way!! After visiting the Fort Magic site, I LOVE the fact that it promotes so much creativity, learning, self-confidence, cooperation with others! Ohhh how the last goes on and on! My boys would love something like this. I always say my oldest will be an architect some day because he is obsessed with building things. He’s 3.5 yrs old :) He’s been building and knocking down his castles, blocks, toys, etc since he was a baby. Needless to say, he’d go nuts over this!!
Julie
April 23, 2014 at 10:22 pmI learned that in addition to all the different structures that we can build with the kit, we also have some soon-to-be-offered fabric covers to get excited about. I can see lots of fun and creative plays
Lorina
April 23, 2014 at 10:24 pmThis is awesome! I love the versatility! It would be such fun for summer, indoors & out! Way better than the hodge podge of tiny kid tents that come out at fort building time here….. :)
Dominique King
April 23, 2014 at 10:30 pmwould love to win this! looks perfect for indoor and outdoor place plus a good project to build teamwork with my four kids . my daycare kids would love it too!

Hannah
April 23, 2014 at 10:37 pmMy kids (ages 4 and 5.5) would LOVE this. They are all ready fort builders but this just increases the possibilities 100x. Plus, I am part of an art collective called Fortnight. We make cardboard forts in public spaces. Thanks!
Melanie Ramirez
April 23, 2014 at 10:39 pmI have had my eye on something like this for a long time, just saving my moolah. Fort Magic is by far the most awesome kit I’ve seen. I actually started pricing pvc pipe & all the connectors at hardware stores & this kit by Fort Magic is much more cost effective. I want it, not only for my boys, but I’m sure I will be playing in the forts as well. I especially love the idea of putting Christmas lights up around it! SO IN LOVE with this kit!!!
Mary Beth Hunt
April 23, 2014 at 10:41 pmI learned that you can make ANYTHING you can imagine!
aubrie
April 23, 2014 at 10:43 pmThis is just what I want for my kids this summer, this is the kind of stuff kids should be doing! Looks like there are so many building possibilities…
Joy
April 23, 2014 at 10:47 pmI would love to see the 4 blended kids in my house work together to build this!
Cynde
April 23, 2014 at 10:50 pmLove it!!! I love the flexibility and the sturdiness. The fabric covers look awesome as well.
Sarah
April 23, 2014 at 10:52 pmGrand paw in submarine service so we need to build one!
Jae
April 23, 2014 at 10:57 pmWe would love to play with this! Our homeschool group will want to play with it to.
GG
April 23, 2014 at 10:57 pmI love how many different things can be created. I learned that it’s about connectors: both the ones in the kit and how it’s used to connect us with our kids through shared fun.
Sara C
April 23, 2014 at 11:01 pmI wasn’t so sold on this when I saw it on Shark Tank, but seeing it in action, it looks like it’d be awesome!
Mayla M
April 23, 2014 at 11:03 pmI love the endless possibilities and that it requires imagination!
Michelle B.
April 23, 2014 at 11:09 pmAmazing!!! There is so much creative that can be done with it. My three boys would love it!

Elizabeth Drew
April 23, 2014 at 11:17 pmI am absolutely in awe of how fantastic the Fort Magic is in encouraging imagination, motor skills and many more learning experiences for children of all ages (adults included). The endless possibilities for making different themed or styled forts in any space is incredible.
Fabiola Garcia
April 23, 2014 at 11:22 pmThe versatility is fabulous. My daughter would love to build so many of them. I can see ourselves sleeping in it, too. I love the idea of the lights hanging inside. I have my fingers crossed.
kristin
April 23, 2014 at 11:25 pmokay, i LOVE that this builds engineering thinking and spatial skills! awesome. I also think its kinda cool that the product does not come with cloth – means you can use a myriad of sheets, scarves towels for more fort-effect! love to have this set…
Mungwee
April 23, 2014 at 11:30 pmThis is the best thing ever! A fort in no time at all and I get to keep all my kitchen chairs and couch cushions where they belong…in the kitchen and on the couch!
jen
April 23, 2014 at 11:36 pmI love that the design ideas are endless.
Kristen
April 23, 2014 at 11:40 pmI like that kids are free to create their own shape as opposed to a set shape determined by the manufacturer!
Rebecca
April 23, 2014 at 11:48 pmMy son loves building forts and talking about the planes, cars, and trucks he’s going to build someday. He’d have so much fun with this!
Bonnie
April 23, 2014 at 11:51 pmI would love to let my guys go crazy with this :)
Linda Simon
April 23, 2014 at 11:56 pmI learned that one kit can make all sort of different things. This looks really cool.
Sarah
April 23, 2014 at 11:58 pmWould love to win! My boys love building and I love when they are using their imaginations!
Kristy Richardson

Sharma Edwards
April 24, 2014 at 12:08 amI love that you can make what ever is in your imagination. Great idea and I no my girls would love it….Plus we can make it big so I can even fit under the cubby house. Would love to win this for my family. :-)
Cynthia LaRue
April 24, 2014 at 12:17 amI think it’s a fun product with so many options for designing a “tent”! I like how kids can learn to build and be creative. I would enjoy helping my daughter build a tent with this product. Thanks.
Susan U
April 24, 2014 at 1:45 amMy son has a big imagination, and the possibilities of this toy seem quite as endless. It seems to be the only thing that might compete with the his more stationary position at the Lego table. Happy to have a chance to I win one for him…. saying a prayer :)
Kathy
April 24, 2014 at 1:14 pmMy girls love making forts and this would be a great birthday gift for my 6 year old!
Carrie Szeto
April 24, 2014 at 1:16 pmI love how the kids can learn to follow instructions building it and then use their imagination playing with it. My daughter will have fun choosing the fabrics for covering the forts! I bought so meant tents and playhouse that are too small. Expensive learning lol hope we can win this big one :)
Sally Stanley
April 24, 2014 at 6:36 pmThis is so cool!! What a great time my grandsons would have with this.

May 10, 2014 at 1:41 pmI simply cannot depart your website just before suggesting that we basically adored the regular information somebody provide within your friends? Can be just going to be back ceaselessly as a way to review brand-new threads
Mary
September 20, 2014 at 9:29 pmYikes! Is that PVC??? Does this toy meet child safety standards in the US?
