Crazy Forts Review

Product Description: Children of all ages love building fun structures where they can play endlessly in their imaginary world. And Crazy Forts makes play so easy and so much fun. Simple connect the balls and sticks and cover the structures with bedsheets to create places where imaginations flourish. 

Review: It's going to be a cold winter so you may want to start stocking up on some indoor fun for your family.  Grab some blankets, the Crazy Forts box and let the fun begin!  This activity is great for children of all ages.  My 3 and 5 year old were both able to connect the rods into the balls.  They did need a little help to make sure all the connections were secure and to help create the fort itself.  We just started building, no plans in hand just connected and went with a house look.

A few times when they were crawling threw the creation they would run into one of the rods and it would come apart.  They were both able to reconnect the individual pieces and continue playing.
One drawback is to make full use of the Crazy Forts you need an open area.  Thankfully our playroom is a large room and we were able to rearrange some things so the kids could use every single piece that comes in the box.  You could also take the building outside if you needed too.  The box is very portable and everyone has sheets so your children can take it over to a friends house or even to Camp Grandparents.
Be sure and check out Crazy Forts online for ideas on what can be built with just one box.  Of course you can pick up more than one box and build larger and higher than your kids imagined.  Toys that don't take batteries and have my kids using their hands to build is a plus in my book.
I think the kids knocked over our house fort so they could build something new.  The request was for a rocket ship.  I'll be sure and let you know how that turns out!

Buy it: You can purchase Crazy Forts online or at a retailer near you.
