Crazy Forts Review
A few weeks ago, I received a Crazy Fort for my 4-year old triplets to test. I was very intrigued when I first learned about this new toy and wasn’t disappointed when I received it.
It only takes a few minutes to build the different designs. You simply connect the balls and sticks and throw a bed sheet on top for an instant hideaway. We tried the house and igloo designs. The igloo seemed a bit stronger for my triplets, but one or two children would probably do fine with the house design. I like the idea of buying additional Crazy Forts and making a huge structure!
Suffice it to say, my triplets love their Crazy Fort. I love that it’s easy to assemble and easy to store! They particularly loved when I let them eat a snack in their Crazy Fort!
The Crazy Fort is intended for children ages 4 and up. I think smaller children would enjoy it as well, but they might have a harder time understanding that they can’t grab the sticks, lean on the fort, etc. or it would fall apart.
The Crazy Fort comes with 25 balls and 44 sticks, which is enough to make several different structures including a house, igloo and tunnel. Of course, there are more options based on your imagination and additional designs are available on the Crazy Forts website. You can also find participating retailers on the Crazy Forts website.
At $33.99, I think the price tag is a bit high for the Crazy Fort, but it does offer great entertainment! Overall, I give the Crazy Fort a thumbs up.

Building forts and houses with blankets and sheets has been the joy of children for ages. My sister, brothers and I spent hours in our houses made from upturned chairs covered with blankets. My daughter and her friends did the same. My grandchildren, grand neices and nephews entertained themselves, too, in our living room with these creations.
Now someone has come up with the idea of producing an adjustable frame for forts and huts. Neat!
