Fort Building

Spending so much time inside with our kiddos offers a very unique opportunity to really connect with them — why not build a blanket fort with them today? You can literally take a couple large sheets and drape them over the dining table, throw some pillows and blankets under and you’ve got a new special place to explore with your little one — or take some time for yourself as they settle in to this new special place! There are some elaborate forts out there, go wild! Also, here’s a link to get you started if you are a first time “forter”.

Books and forts go hand in hand — if you’ve cycled through all your hard copies, a visit to the online public library is just a click away!

Happy “forting”!
