BUILDING TIPS & TRICKS
Building a fort is really fun and a great way to use your imagination! Getting your fort just right,
though, can take some practice. Here are a few tips to help make things easier if you get stuck.
#1
Try building on a carpet or a large blanket
because pieces can slip around on hardwood floors.
#2
Group all the separate types of pieces
together in piles before you build so you always
know how many of each type you have left.
#3
Start at the base and build up.
#4
The best forts are stable, which means you want
every pole pushed all the way into the connectors.
Since the fit is snug, you'll need to use
both hands and twist while you push,
but be sure to ask an adult
for help if you have any
trouble inserting the
poles all the way.

#5
If you're building a really big
fort, try building smaller sections
one at a time. Once you have
those built, you can connect
them all together.
#6
Look closely at
all your pieces. There
are flexible ones, rigid
ones, and different pole
lengths. Each of these
pieces has its own special
characteristics which can
help you as you build.
With a little practice and
imagination, you'll
be an expert builder
in no time!

If you look back to the practice build on the previous page, you’ll see extra-long poles connected diagonally on three of the sides. These extra-long poles transform each of these sides from one square to two triangles, making the whole structure much stronger.
