What could be better than a blanket tent? A couple of moms watched their little ones at play and realized that with a few added improvements that blanket tent could bring on even bigger imaginative fun. And they were right!
Fortamajig is brain-building, fort-making that far exceeds swiping sheets from your bed or blankets from the hall closet.
Not only do kids get to work with a huge, expanse of lightweight, very strong, 100% polyester fabric that is manufactured to duplicate nylon in durability and function. (8 feet square to be precise)… they gain a whole lot of creative genius and structural support when they attach all the loop and hook fastener tabs & loops to whatever strikes their fancy.
Fortamajig has a whopping total of 24 adjustable loops on its perimeter and 9 loops on the inner portion of the square. These extra tough loops fasten quickly and easily, and are adaptable to any area your child determines a good spot to “latch onto”… doors, chair backs, tree branches, drawer handles, bedposts, railings, etc. Best of all, the VELCRO® brand fastener tabs are of very high quality. They stay in place, so children aren’t frustrated by sliding blankets and caving ceilings. To the delight of kids, their play forts and hideaways stay up easily, and last longer than a day.
The ultimate washable, portable, storable and durable play tent – Fortamajig has no poles, no zippers, nothing complicated or unnecessary. Fortamajig does have a window that can be closed or open for visibility, (ask any kid, a window is a necessity). And it has four corner pockets that allow you to insert items for weight if you are playing in the windy outdoors, (pockets for filling… another necessity).
Fortamajig fosters creativity and problem-solving skills in kids from age 3 to pre-teen. So very well designed and constructed, this fort making toy will cost you pennies per use when you consider how many times your kids will play with it over the years. It does keep kids occupied. They’ll be constantly making structural changes or plans to relocate their secret getaway. (And just an FYI... you can expect some secretive ploys involving the hoarding of snacks, stuffed animals, toys, and books.)

This is my second time to purchase the Fortamajig for a 5 year old boy, although my 5 year old daughter loves it too. The material is durable and the velcro straps are well positioned and a breeze for a child to manipulate unassisted. It inspires hours of imaginative play indoors and out. It helps build some basic engineering skills as well! It folds up small so it doesn't take up much space to store when not in use.
Love it!

This works really well, as long as you have places to hook the velcro loops! It makes a great tent and stays in place! No more kids asking me to fix the blankets every 10 mins!!
Great Fun!

I have been considering this for my boys for a while...finally decided to get it for my 5 year old for his birthday. My boys (the older one is almost 7) LOVE to build tents. They were able to construct a pretty cool lean-to with this without any assistance at all. It is a pretty cool toy. I wish that it was bigger, though. The tent that it builds isn't quite as big as the ones that we do with sheets. It would be nice to have more than one, the cost is just too high for what it is. Comes with a bag to store it in, too.
Best imaginative toy!

My kids can play with this for hours. It has many velcro straps all around so it can attach anywhere. It smells a little "plastic-y" out of the box.

My kids love to build forts, and when I saw this, I knew we had to have it! Immediately upon opening, they slung it across the stairs and attached it to the rails. Next, it moved to the family room, and what's great about this is that it can be configured in so many different ways, and it attaches to everything! It's lightweight but strong, and it has pockets and windows, and it's awesome because it folds up and comes with its own carrying case so it's easy to store!
Awesome product!
