Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit - Big Fort Building Set for Kids Ages 4+

Bought this as a Christmas gift for our granddaughter who loves to build, explore and play hide and seek. It's a big hit with all the grandkids. Very sturdy and easy to assemble.

Bought two of the explorer kits, one for each grandkid. Bought them two and a half years ago. This is one of the best "toy" purchases we've made. It's so durable and they love it! They've built castles, forts, planes, boats, and anything in-between. Easy enough for the kids to put together by themselves (over 6 yrs) and fun enough for the whole family. The boxes don't take up much space and the pieces hold up well over time. A quality product for hours of fun and creative play away from screens. The kids are counting, strategizing, working together, creating, and having a good time. When my kids were little they made forts with chairs and blankets, but with these kits my grandkids can create anything they can dream up. They often add blankets and pillows to take their creations to the next level. Definitely recommend this product to anyone. Having more than one kit allows you to build so many things.

This is a lot of fun, but kind of pricey for what it is (a cardboard fort). I do like that it all stores back into its box because there are a lot of pieces. Because it’s cardboard, it’s not toddler-proof in terms of durability, but it is pretty easy to use and allows for a fun, screen-free activity. I’d probably buy it again, even at the price.

Such a cool and fun activity with your kids! My 2 year old loves it

bought two sets for my little grandsons and they absolutely love them. amazing how many different shapes they come up with for their castles and forts. and they constantly tear them down, change, modify, start over. highly recommended. the cardboard is high quality and seems durable.

My great nephew loves to hide and play in his fort

Grandson loves this kit! Every time he comes over, he wants to build a new one. It does take up some space but the enjoyment he has playing and making it is worth the space. The box that everything stores in is only five inches deep and is like a super large pizza box with a handle, very easy to store. In the photo we have a small light that is illuminating the inside of the fort.

It's a great idea but the product quality is very por. It's NOT worth the amount it's being sold for. It's flimsy, it doesn't stay together well despite doing all that's recommended. Do not waste your money.

Great imaginative toy. Our grandkids play with it all the time. Stands up to a 4 & 2 year old.

My five year old grandson LOVES forts.

I didn't bother fully unpacking it and building something. I could tell right away it was not going to withstand the wear and tear my boys would put it through. The cardboard is thin and would likely get bent easily with rough use. I do think it's a cool product, but better suited to older kids who are capable of taking care of their stuff

We ended up buying two sets for our four and six-year-old grandchildren and they loved it ! It’s quite sturdy once they know not to knock against the sides, and in fact, while adults helped them put it together the first time as per their instructions, they would be able to do this themselves now with minimal help. The only reason I’m not giving this five stars is that I find it pretty expensive for what it is. I am a grandparent so I didn’t think too hard on the cost, but if I were a parent, I would not have bought this, at least not bought two sets.

a 4 year old and a 7 year old found it totally awesome - at first. Parents/grandparents or aunts/uncles will need patience to put it together only for it to fall apart very quickly. Great concept - but not a great outcome
