Features 5
- Screen-Free Fun With Real Engineering: Turn "I'm bored" into "Look what I built!" Every rod takes two hands to push into its ball, so little fingers stay busy and the tablet gets forgotten for hours. Kids crawl under the frame and stretch up on tiptoe to finish the roof, and playtime turns into an active afternoon on their feet. Along the way they test which shapes keep a wall standing and which ones wobble, and every connection gives fine motor skills a good workout.
- Open The Box And Start Building: Inside are 69 pieces, 25 purple connector balls and 44 green rods, sized for builders ages 5 and up. Younger children can join in with a parent's help. Add your favorite bedsheet over the top and the frame becomes a cozy hideout. Every ball has holes made to the same depth, so each rod seats snugly with a firm push, and the rods flex under a bump instead of snapping.
- A Brand-New Fort Every Day: One kit can be a castle on Monday and a spaceship by Saturday, with an igloo or a crawl-through tunnel whenever the mood strikes. Kids pick the shape and build it by hand, and leftover pieces are perfectly normal, since every fort is their own design. When it's time for something new, they pull it apart and start dreaming up the next one.
- From Living Room To Backyard: The fort goes up in the living room on a snow day and moves out to the backyard when the sun comes back. Sleepovers and playdates get a secret clubhouse, and teachers, camp leaders and occupational therapists bring it out for group play. When the fun winds down, kids toss every rod and ball back in the box and the floor is clear before dinner.
- Big Enough For The Whole Crew: One builder can have the fort all to themselves, or 3 to 4 kids can pile inside together. As your kids grow, add a second kit for a bigger fort. Every kit from every year fits together, so a set from years back connects with a brand-new one. Each one carries a lifetime warranty, so if anything goes wrong, it gets replaced.

Great

My kid enjoys them a lot

Would recommend if you want to up your fort building game
Style: Fort Builder
I bought two sets, one because I was buying this set for a 10 year old so I wanted the structure to be able to be big enough.tonfit a big kid in, but also because I had read so many reviews stating that you can do so much more with two sets. The poles DO bend, but especially when you're not a pro at building with these that's a good thing. If they were so rigid that they didn't bend, my first time building with them by myself, six sticks would have snapped. They are plastic, and not tough like hard PVC pipe plastic, but definitely not as weak as say a laundry basket. It's a good in between... If that makes sense. If you're wanting to build squares of varying sizes, by all means, take the $40 down to a hardware store and buy PVC pipes and joints. You'll have yourself a pretty decent fort frame. However, if you're wanting to upmyour fort building game having fun WITH your child, and spark the imagination better than ever before, then buy this kit because the majority of the worth in this kit is not the poles, but the endless possibilities you have with the joints. Yes, if your kid is under the age of 4ish they will need help building the forts, but it's never a bad thing to have to spend time with your children. We built a very basic square with as many pieces as possible (the wobbliest of structures since everyone knows triangles are the strongest) and covered it with whatever we had. The WEAKEST structure you can build with two full kits, with no support beam in the middle to keep the middle of the too sloping inward held two queen sheets, four blankets, and a winter quilt over night just fine. Though because of the thickness of the blankets the inside of the fort was a lot warmer than outside. As stated before in other reviews, forts are intended to be sat IN, not sat ON, but nobody told my 23lb dog the rules of forts and he plopped himself on one of the walls of the fort.... It remained standing.

Lots of fun, but some building limitations
Style: Fort Builder
I love this toy, and might give it 5 stars if it were for me. You can use a lot of creativity with this toy, and we had the most fun with things we came up with on our own (a plane, a boat, a plain box fort). The downsides are that 1) the construction is a bit hard - the sticks don't always go smoothly into the ball holes and sometime have to be rammed in pretty hard or else they come apart. Also, in order to build some of the structures in the booklet, you have to do a fair amount of planning ahead. The holes you need for some of the diagonals may not be lined up properly even if the arrows on the balls are facing up and the perpendicular connectors are lined up properly. This means you either have to figure out all the connections you will need ahead of time, or unhitch the perpendicular connections you have made in order to rotate the balls until you have a hole where you need it. All this means that even for bright young kids (I have a 3 and 6 year old who school me regularly), some adult help will probably be needed at least for some structures. 2) The structures in the booklet are pretty short - really more appropriate for mini-sized rather than fun-sized kids. We had the most fun with what was basically a large box with a door in it that we constructed off-book, since there was enough room for both kids to sit comfortably inside. You may need more than one set to build most of the really cool stuff (I want a huge castle!). I don't know whether crazy forts offers an expansion set with maybe half again as many balls and sticks, but if they did, I would be all over it. It's kind of expensive to buy an entire new set.

Wonderful Building Toy - My Son's Favorite Christmas Gift of 2015!
Style: Fort Builder
I've spent the last few days building, tearing down, and then rebuilding forts in various parts of my house with one very happy little boy. So to put it succinctly Crazy Forts has been a huge success in my household! I'm not sure what's going on with the many negative reviews. Those reviews caused me some hesitation before placing my order but I'm glad that I pulled the trigger and bought two sets. ►In The Box: » 44 bright green plastic sticks » 25 purple balls » Two page instruction manual for various fort designs Each stick is 16-inches long and the balls are roughly the size of a baseball. ►Assembly: One of the complaints I saw repeatedly in the negative reviews is that the forts are hard to assemble. This is not true at all! Each purple ball has four arrows that point to the top hole. As long as you align the balls in the proper orientation (using the arrows as a guide) you'll be building intricate and neat looking forts in no time. The entire concept of the "geometrically precise" purple balls is to ensure that the entire fort aligns for quick and easy construction. So if you can align 90° and 45° angles you'll be fine. The other trick to constructing a durable fort with this kit is to use a twisting motion when inserting the sticks into the ball-holes. This ensures the sticks are pushed all the way into the ball and a better overall construction. The various complaints that these forts fall apart is just not the case. I've got my son's fort draped with blankets and with a busy 2.5 year old constantly coming in an out of the fort along with two dogs. The forts we've build have not fallen apart. ►Recommendations: If you're considering buying this kit I really do recommend buying at least two sets. One set is enough to build some of the plans including the pictured igloo design. But if your intending on playing in the fort with your child you'll likely want something a little more spacious. Two sets seems to have enough pieces to build a nice big fort that can comfortably fit two children, two adults and two dogs. ►Closing: This has been by far my son's favorite Christmas gift this year and I'm sure we'll get plenty more use out of this set. Recommended!

So much fun for my 3- and 6- year old!
Style: Fort Builder
This was a great gift for my 2 kiddos. They can’t really assemble it themselves, but my spouse and I have had a blast creating the different configurations on the instructions. You can’t really put anything more than a sheet over them; they aren’t sturdy enough to hold up a blanket, but that’s in no way a dealbreaker. The kids love it - it’s great for bad weather days, sick days, sleepovers, and even playing in the yard. I will be ordering a second set (as some of the reviews on here have suggested) for even more extensive fort creations!

Small & Flimsy
Style: Fort Builder
So here’s the thing... if your kid is gonna sit in this thing by themselves or doing very little within its frame, this is a great toy. However, if your kid is anything like my 5 year old daughter; who wants you to come play with them, or to put a blanket over the structure or who wants to be a damsel in distress and act out even a drastic dainty arm flail.... you may want to rethink this one... the pieces themselves seem durable enough but the structure itself is small and falls apart with every movement of any piece of the frame. It can’t be a “blanket” fort as it can’t hold the weight of any blanket big enough to cover it. Just one more thing, and I say this last because it may just have been user error on my part, but the instructions are garbage. The structure and design are simple enough but attempting to follow their diagrams had me wasting 40 minutes trying to slightly bend pieces into place and rotating balls just to try to match D to D. After I threw the instructions in the trash it took maybe 10 more minutes to fully disassemble and reassemble. This may sound like a case of “this guy just didn’t know how to put it together”... all I can say to that is you spend your $ and you give it a shot. Shoot me a thumbs up on this review to testify to its truthfulness when you decide for yourself.

Worth your money. Great play!
Style: Fort Builder
Very fun activity for a small group of five year olds. One understood it right away, two of them understand it but need more processing time, and couple of them don’t get it but enjoy it all the same. Wonderful opportunity for the children to figure out how to work together playing on each person’s strengths. This is followed by great creativity of dramatic play typically involving wolf cubs and bald eagles. UPDATE: I caved in and bought another set. Now that it was their third time working with these, a couple more children have figured it out. So four kindergarteners understand it and are clearly very intellectually satisfied while constructing with it. One is still determined to force it to work with brute strength and trying to bend the sticks to fit ( doesn’t work, but wow, they’re durable) and the remaining child has discovered the satisfaction of holding the sheet of instructions and dictating how the playing will ensue ( today it involved a den of wolf cubs and some humans with a vegetable garden).

Flimsy, no Sheet Included
Style: Fort Builder
This is a cute idea, and it could have been a great toy but it's just too flimsy. First, the rods are the thinest, cheapest plastic. You cannot drape sheets or blankets over the structures as they are too heavy. A super thin painter's cloth might be okay. The box top shows a red and a yellow plastic sheet over the structure, but that is not included in the box. Secondly, the connections are so flimsy that if the child bumps it while climbing through his structure, it will fall apart. Kids love building forts! But alas, they'll have to continue using the kitchen table.
