Totally Awesome Fort Magic Kit for Kids {w/ GIVEAWAY!}
Forts are magical to build, and explore!
Forts that you can change and adapt at a whim are even better!
The kids don’t know how we survived a rainy weekend before we received our Fort Magic Kit {Kids Activities Blog sponsor} in the mail. If you would like to purchase a kit of your own, you may visit the Fort Magic Shop page.
Pssst…look below for your chance to win a Fort Magic Kit!
Fort Magic Kit
The pipe connectors are easy enough for our three year old to participate in the assembly. Fort creation is a great way to help him develop the life long skills of hand and eye coordination and spatial awareness.
While an instruction book was included, and our older children followed the diagrams to create the first “castle”, they quickly learned how to improvise and adapt the designs.
They learned *SO* much as they built their “castle”…
Learn through Play
They learned how some geometric shapes are made – they learned how to create and manipulate shapes. To look at the diagram on the page, to make a similar “square” with the pipes. Then younger siblings looked at the square and copied it to make the next section.
They learned to communicate as they discussed and debated what the next steps were to get the fort “up”. They had to communicate with each other as they negotiated roles and requested pieces.
They explored other worlds and roles as they played pretend with the finished fort. It was not long before it became an “RV” for camping and then a was disassembled to become set of gymnastic bars for the stuffed animals to “perform” on.
Review of Fort Magic Building Kit
The Fort Magic kit is a MASSIVE set of tubes – various lengths and some with curves to add some dimension – and connectors. The tubes are different colors to help kids differentiate between them as they are building. The connectors are sturdy and easy for kiddos to put together without much adult supervision/participation.
The kit comes with a storage bag for the pipes. We keep the connectors in a small side bin along with a couple sets of sheets. You will need at least two sheets to complete your fort kit. They have connectors to put your fabric up, but the fabric was not included in the Fort Magic Building and Construction Toy kit for Kids.
There is a book with LOTS of ideas included in the kit. My son took the book to quiet time that afternoon so he could daydream about future plans! The book does not have step-by-step instructions, but seemed easy enough for my 6 & 7 year old to emulate (but their finished product did not exactly match the one in the book – I did not help much).
In addition to the instruction book, you can also check out the Fort Magic website for even more ideas!
We aren’t the only ones that are crazy about this toy, check out the Fort Magic customer reviews to see what other families are raving about and how they are building with their kit.

It is everything that a kid like – pretend play, computer, hideout…
This would be so much fun for the dayhome kidlets while we are stick inside this cold cold winter!
Wow, my kids would love this! They got a fort kit by another maker for Christmas, but it doesn’t have nearly as many pieces. They can barely build one small house, let alone a spaceship or castle!
Such an awesome innovative way for kids to use their imagination! We have been stuck inside because of the bitterly cold and snowy weather, I think this amazing fort kit would be just what the Dr. ordered!
This is a great product to have children use their imaginations but also their problem solving skills to build some of these creations. This is a product that could be used by many different ages.

What a fantastic activity. My 2 boys would play with this all day. I Love this!!
My boys (and my teenage girls too even though they wouldn’t admit it ) would love the fort magic tunnel and fort. They currently use all the blankets and sofa cushions and chairs to try and build a fort whenever they have someone to help them. I know they would love to get a “real one “
I love all the different designs that can be made. I know that my daughter would have a blast with one.
I love the variety you can get with just one kit. My daughters would love this. I would love it because they would leave my furniture in place and stop moving it to build forts!!!!

Love this! My kids would have a ball making the castle or the spaceship.

My kids would love to build with this, since they are always building with pillows, boxes, sheets and etc…
Their imagination to build is the best way to grow and become something in life 🙂
I love how this toy can make something big that can be stored in a much smaller space! My kids would love to have a wooden fort in the backyard, but there isn’t room. This would be really convenient.
Genius idea for forts! Love all the different designs we could build!
This is great – so many possibilities for endless, creative play!
I love their yellow submarine! My son is always bugging me to buy him PVC at Home Depot. I’d love to have one of these kits so we could end the begging! Very cool product.
I learned it doesn’t come with fabric, but there are some really cool designs on there…you just add your own fabric
My kids would love this indoors and outdoors!
I like that you can make so many types of forts & that it is easy enough for the kids to do them selves.

Hi, just wanted to say what an awesome idea for kids!!! I have three little girls and we always build some castles from blankets and chairs but this would be great to have and they would be busy for hours.

We would love to WIN IT!!!!! :))) I visited your website its very COOL , all those ideas but its too expensive for me to purchase for my kids 🙁 , so i hope very much that my name will be drawn.
My kids would love this! I love that you can build so many things with just one kit.

I learned that this is wonderful to fire up a child’s imagination and that you provide the sheets or blankets for your Fort Magic, and that it has a storage bag to store all the pieces in and that it also has a book with 20 different things to build with instructions, it would be a lot of fun
I love the idea that kids can create a fort and really make it anything they want it to be. I also love the storage that comes with it.
i like the castle configuration
I love the Rocket Ship & Alien
I was on your site. I just had a baby and was out of the little kid mode for sooo long. This wasn’t around with my other kids, I wish it were. I love it and would love to have something like this for my son. I think all my older kids would love this too as they are always trying to make a “house” out of my sheets
My boys would love this and we get a lot of rain where we live so this would be awesome!
I like the car, ship, paddle boat. great ideas from magic fort

I like that it gets kids away from TV and the computer, so they can actually use their imagination to build something/
I just found your website today – I’m really looking forward to exploring the archives!
I liked the fire truck!
Visiting their website, I love the way Fort Magic shows how you can really use your imagination, and incorporate dress up and roll play! My son would love building the rocket ship and be astronaut !!
I like that one kit can do so much! All the variety of structures without having to purchase custom kits for each is a great feature! And, I like it comes with an instruction book to get you started with build ideas.
Thanks!
I love that you can build different sizes. I love the variety that is offered. It gives kids the chance to use their imagination.
My munchkin would have so much fun with this! I really like the Fort Magic Race Car idea.
I love that their founding passion is in encouraging the habits of happiness and success.
t decide to come down on businesses that accept virtual currencies (which if
course it already has). Like Biggs points not on in vogue his article,
While you possibly will simply congealed a mechanism aside and declare it run the algorithms endlessly, the energy cost and equipment deprecation pray eventually cost further than the concrete Bitcoins are worth.
So now that you’re convinced that Bitcoin is hedre to stay for the long run, how to make use of this.
I like they can build what they want.
I saw that the website includes design plans to show how you can use the kit to create different types of structures. Such a cool product!
I love the Mansion!
that kids can be so creative
Fort Magic looks awesome! My 2-year old loves to build forts with pillows and blankets, but they fall down too easily. She would love that these stay up and would love learning to use the set!
The Fort Magic Mansion design is awesome! We have over an acre of back yard so it would be a great item to have for our kids!
I love all the different types of forts. It would be hard to pick from our favorites like the airplane and pirate ship.
I am excited about all the different kinds of forts! As an engineer, I would love to help my kids get creative and build a fort!
I love the virtually endless creative possibilities—the curved pieces will be great for creating tunnels.
This is fantastic! All three of my kids LOVE to make forts with anything they can get their hands on! They usually start with blankets and pillows, then add books and whatever else they can find. Winning this set for them would be perfect.
they have many designs to make and kids can have so much fun
I love the fabric clips to really dress it up and that it all fits in a storage bag.
I like all the designs you can make with one kit.
My daughter would love this!
