Hello Tinker-firends! I’ve been busy with some family business and book edits that are taking a toll on my late-night blogging time. How are you doing?
Until I get a better handle on these details I thought I’d share some quick snippets of tinkering inspiration from our days at home and out-and-about.
Today we have a down-and-dirty favorite from my husband, our resident fort builder. Scroll down to the bottom for links to hundreds of inspiring DIY kids fort ideas.
How to Build a Simple Room Fort for Kids
What you need
- Paper Tape
- A large sheet
- A doorway or arch to hang the sheet in
That’s it!
It’s not your traditional fort, but my kids loved playing with this new-to-them hanging element. It closed off a room that’s normally open to the whole house, giving the room a feeling of theater.
And speaking of theater, you could also do something like this to create impromptu theater curtains.
