We can’t get enough of the products from Lakeshore Learning. I am consistently impressed with their quality, service and affordability. Through my partnership with them, I am now able to try out products at home with my kids like their awesome Ultimate Fort Builder that my kids are obsessed with.
The Ultimate Fort Builder includes 45 durable poles and 25 kid-friendly connectors, which can be put together to create an igloo, a castle and other creations. The structures are strong enough to support a sheet or blanket on top, and the kit also includes instructions for easy construction.
Before the kids started building, it was easy to see that several skills would be needed for success in building their forts:
- teamwork
- organization
- following directions
- critical thinking
With zero adult instruction or help, my kids opened up the box, sorted the parts and started building.
Once their fort was complete, the kids added a blanket on top and a few pillows on the floor. While not sturdy enough to climb on, their fort was well-made and not likely to come down without effort. The kids enjoyed playing inside and there was plenty of room for them to move around comfortably.
Some other great benefits of building with the Ultimate Fort Builder:
- encourages imagination and creativity
- fosters cooperative play
- helps boost kid’s confidence when they complete each project on their own or working together as a team
