New Year, New Ideas - Fort Kit

Are you sick of all those electronic toys and gadgets?  I mean even Legos are a bit overrated. What ever happened to the good 'ol days when you had tree houses and you brought home frogs and lizards in your pocket? 

Here is a fun gift/idea for your child or another child. 

Buy a large tote bag and decorate the outside with markers or paint, with the child's name as well as the words "DIY FORT KIT" 

Inside place these items. 

• Re-purposed household items
• Old sheets
• Rope
• Bungee cords
• Clothespins
• Twine
• Clamps

• For extra fun add...
• Flashlight
• Treasure map
• Batteries
• Snacks
• Compass

The child that receives this gift will have an awesome time building their imagination as well as their fort.
