Blanket Fort Building
Blanket Fort Building
Blanket fort building is an easy and fun activity for the whole family. It is a free activity and a few materials is all you need. Blankets or sheets, some pillows or cushions, chairs, tables or couches, or even an old cardboard box, Here, my grandson and I created a magical little space nestled between two chairs.
We named our structure, the Happy Family Castle.
The Castle was guarded and protected by a friendly "dragon".
Fort building is a valuable developmental activity for children to engage in. There is so much learning which takes place.
It takes planning, thinking and problem solving. It promotes cooperation and teamwork.
It is a great activity which fosters physical activity, creativity and using one's imagination. It can help build a child's confidence and sense of pride and satisfaction with building one's very own space.
It is a wonderful rainy day or any day activity for you and your little ones.
Have fun!
