One of the most ingenious toys to enter our home is, hands down, the Fortamajig by The Happy Kid Company. Such a simple concept, yet what results during playtime is anything but simple! Fortamajig, a basic rectangle of parachute-type material, contains many cleverly placed sewn-on strips of Velcro which are easily attached to furniture indoors, or trees, fences, decks, etc. outdoors so children can create forts, tents, houses, rockets – whatever their imaginations can conjure up. A Velcroed slit up one side makes a door. A screen window, with flaps on each side for opening and closing, makes a perfect lookout spot. And the pockets inside mean kids can hide their secret clubhouse items from possible intruders (like older or younger siblings).
My house contains a lot of wood furniture that I like to protect from damage as much as anyone would, I suppose. We’ve had the Fortamajig strapped across every conceivable area of the house, and I never have to worry about it scratching or damaging anything. My son would care less about that aspect, though – he just loves that in under five minutes, Mommy magically builds him his own remarkable house – just his size! Oftentimes, while I’m working my day job on the computer, he has his Fortamajig hooked to a couple of dining room chairs. He sits inside on his little overstuffed rocker, favorite animals and books surrounding him, and plays quietly while I get my work done. Playing quietly, as any mom will tell you, is a God send. Perhaps that’s the most ingenious part of the Fortamajig of all!

My lucky Tuesday vote!
The fortamajig comes in 6 color combos, which would make this a cool gift that I can get for more than one child (my twins) and select a color for each. They do like to have their own stuff & there wouldn’t be any mixup.
Tuesday comment sez, “Meow”
There is nothing breakable, and no hard pieces to “bonk” a child! Wow, I’d love to win this one!
This is my last chance entry — thanks for the giveaway:)
Count me in for Tuesday

This would be so fun to have. It would be easier and better than dragging out all of our sheets to create a fort in the yard.

I love that the kids can create different “forts” My neighbor has one and it’s great for long winters inside when the kids really need to use their imaginations.
Thanks for the fun giveaway.
