Back to my favorite thing right now. We inherited this little gem from one of my husband's co-workers. Her kids had outgrown it & she graciously thought of us. We were very happy recipients. I had never heard of it & figured you probably haven't either.
So here it is: Cranium Fort Builder.
{Sorry about the horrible picture quality -- Blogger is driving me nuts right now!}
The kit comes with rigid poles & bendable poles. The rigid poles are bumpy & the bendable ones are smooth. You use the rigid ones to build the structure & the bendable ones to be creative with the roof, etc. Here we built a ship of sorts. The yellow pieces are magnetic & stick to the ends of the poles...make sense?
After you build the structure, you add the walls -- fabric panels.
I have loved all the different things we can build & it is a great alternative to the forts that are made up of every blanket, sheet & chair in the house...unfortunately those forts still pop up on occasion!
Note that if you have a 4-year-old boy like mine you will have to remind him constantly not to eat, tear & overall destroy the foam noodles. We've already lost a few to him & his friends being too rowdy.
Now I just checked amazon.com to see what this thing even runs price wise & it pulled some that were over $400 & some that were about $60. I can't even tell what the difference is, but this is most definitely a $60 toy, NOT a $400 toy. You can check it out here.
