Off the Cuff Links:Play Forts
A collection of links on a random topic.
Forts are a great imagination-building activity for city kids on a cold winter day - or any day. Here's a collection of links to get your imagination going:
Wondertime (via nursery.apartmenttherapy) article featuring three different ways to build forts.
For the ambitious, check out MrMcGroovys awesome fort plans including instruction for cardboard castles and, perfect for city kids, skyscraper forts.
Playhut pop-up forts are perfect for apartment dwellers. One minute you have a suburban-style playroom, then fold it up, tuck it in the closet and nobody even knows you have kids.
For one dad's take on the fun of forts check out Ryan's Rage blog post, "Busy Hellions".
For more fort-building ideas pick up a copy of The Kid's Guide to Building Forts from Amazon.
