It seems like every kid has an inherent desire to build forts. But this can often leave parents less than pleased, because the building materials are usually your nice sheets, couch cushions, or other items you’d rather not be used as fortification. But you don’t want to discourage this kind of play because it encourages an active imagination as well as concrete building skills.
That’s why so many parents who want to salvage their sheets turn to cardboard building blocks. These are surprisingly sturdy, but they are also lightweight, and this makes them the perfect material for your children to build the most intense and complicated forts possible. Your kids are also sure to enjoy the fact that they won’t have to dismantle the forts at night when parents would normally demand the couch cushions back.
