Fort Kits

To truly understand how impressed my boys were with their personalized fort kits, let me preface my statement of intense delight by saying that they also got an Xbox 360 and many other high ticket items. They loved them so much that they asked to play with them FIRST and it is the single item they tell everyone about first!
Please do this for your child, or the children in your life. Good old fashion fun just is not as prevalent as it used to be.
If you can only do a smaller version, I would recommend the sheets and rope First and then clips and clamps. The rest is all icing on the cake.
