Description
A single Crazy Fort Kit contains 25 geometrically precise balls and 44 sticks that connect to create a multitude of possible play structures. Simply throw a bed sheet over top and watch their creativity flourish.
A rocket today, an undiscovered cave tomorrow, a princess castle one day and a wild horse in a corral next week are all possible with Crazy Forts. Toys that promote collaborative play between boys and girls are few and far between. The more they have, the better it gets as multiple kit structures are even more impressive.

What our experts think
Crazy Forts allow children to bring a structure from their imagination to life as they work together to construct it. The simple nature of this building set means the possibilities are endless and children enjoyed using their creativity to build a castle, spaceship and even an umbrella! They could then use this as part of the storytelling in their imaginative role-play.
As children plan out what they are going to make, they are developing important STEM skills including visual planning, logical thinking and creative problem solving to work out the floor plan and shape of their structure. It is also a great way to get children playing collaboratively, which develops important social skills. The children assigned each other jobs in the build and had to listen to each other’s opinions when things didn’t work out, which requires both communication and cooperation.
