It is Fort Friday already? I guess having a 3 day weekend really does make the week go by faster!
I love building with popsicle sticks so thought it would be fun to get some popsicle stick fort inspiration today.
I love these popsicle stick projects from Martha Stewart
Yay! We survived another school week – how about you? Today is another round of Fort Friday!

Happy Fort Friday! We survived another week of school even though the boys didn’t get full recesses because it was so hot. Yes, really! I started up the BBQ one night and couldn’t feel a difference between the air around me and the fire coming up out of the grill.

How about a DIY fort/tent for Legos?
I loved this little craft from Jennifer at Ambrosia Girl and begged her to tell me how she did it and to let me share it here. Luckily I didn’t have to beg too much!
I did a special guest post for Jennifer over at Classic Play. Go check it out to see how we built this fort as well as some of our other fort building tips.
I LOVE playing with cardboard. We lived next to a man who worked for a company that made boxes or something but he’d always bring home these perfectly cut forts for his kids and we were jealous.
Give a kid a toy in a box for Christmas and what does he play with? The box! For whatever reason cardboard gets the imagination going. Don’t recycle it just yet – save it up for your boys to put to good use.
(the only bad thing about it is that it’s hard for kids to cut)
Lego minifigs need forts too! from What I Made
Thanks to those that played along – I know a few more tried to but life happens right?! Everyday is a good day for a fort 🙂
We decided to make ours a movie watching fort and strung our sheets up on hooks on the ceiling. Our sectional moves into a type of bed and they love watching movies like that. We made it a little more fun by making a tent.
For high forts use some hooks and clothespins or clips to secure your blankets from the ceiling.
I should probably do an Etsy Finds Friday again soon, but the boys and I love Fort Friday. It always makes me want to stop what I’m doing and build a fort. Everything is more fun in a fort! I think we’ll build one this week to share at our next Fort Friday.
Another round of Fort Friday (the boys missed it last week)!
Next week I’ll share tons of pictures from the Harry Potter party, and a couple of projects/crafts!
