What our testers said

“Cool! I want to build the rocket ship fort.” – Boy aged 5

“This looks way cooler then the fort my dad built with me!” – Boy aged 4

What our experts think

From rocket ships to safari huts and reading nooks to quiet caves – the possibilities are endless. The National Geographic Epic Forts 70 piece set allowed our testers to put their construction skills to the test and create forts from the pictured designs or from their own imaginations. Repeat play was abundant and the observed children were keen to return to their forts once they were built to engage in creative play or simply relax inside. With a little help from an adult, younger testers (4 to 5 year-olds) were able to use their logical thinking skills to complete the steps of the build, while older children (6+) tested their critical thinking skills to independently complete the challenge. While constructing their forts, fine motor, visual spatial, and executive functioning skills are honed. This kit is ideal for a family activity, independent play, or small group project.
