Get all the sheet(s)

Start by gathering all the materials you’ll need and clearing a safe space to build the fort. Use blankets, sheets, furniture, and cushions to build the base structure of your fort.

Adding the Magic Touch

String up hanging lights or place lamps around the fort for a soft, enchanting glow. Bring in some favorite books and games to keep everyone entertained. Set up a small speaker to play music and snacks to fuel the fun.

We loved this one! The clue was too obvious (which helped Mom pick to use it), but I would suggest a more vague clue. My child is sleeping in her fort this evening!

It was really fun and we made it fill in our whole living room, so we played the game of life while our dog was sleeping inside. We had a lot of fun building it and it was really comortable.
