Product Description
Imagine a hot-air balloon gently drifting on a current of air. Look below. What do you see? Imagine a helicopter hovering over busy city streets with its rotors whirring overhead. Do you see that massive traffic jam? Come aboard, mate-y and join the crew. There are decks to be swabbed and treasure to discover. What can you imagine? What will your child imagine?
If you can think it, you can build it. Let your imaginations soar! This bold, colorful set includes 88 pieces which 'click' together for easy assembly. Even the most impatient child will see the structure quickly take shape. Build a helicopter or a hot-air balloon. Build a 10-foot long barricade or a super cool clubhouse. Promote teamwork and problem solving through building. Build a Super Fort!
This set is recommended for children 4 years and older, but children as young as two can enjoy it with an adult's help. While the structures are sturdy, climbing on and hanging from pieces is not recommended as the structure will not withstand the weight. This toy is perfect for a weekend in the living room.
Encourage imagination. Promote creative play. Build sound forts and strong bonds with your children.
Box may be slightly shelf worn.

Cranium Fort is Educational AND Fun! January 6, 2009
My kids absolutely LOVE this toy. It is the toy that they always come back to when the novelty of their newer toys wears off. At first, my daughter only wanted to build what the instructions showed. But, with a little coaching, she now builds all kinds of things from her own imagination. She has built many different types of "houses" with any number of bedrooms for her "babies", a movie theater, a beauty salon, many stores, obstacle courses, etc. I can see her learning how to put these structures together so that they will withstand her little sister. Her structures are starting to get taller as she gets better at knowing how to do this. In lieu of going outside with a hammer, wood, and nails I think this product is wonderful. My daughter is thinking, learning, imagining, and having fun. She can see her accomplishment standing in front of her. This year, I had to get my younger daughter a set also, because she is old enough to build her own - and it will do one of two things: stop the fighting or...make them work together to build something even bigger!
Truly, if my kids could have ONLY ONE TOY, this would be the one.
I have heard some other parents complain that it is cheaply made and falls over. One Mom told me that she built a wall and put a blanket on it and it fell over. As an engineer, I realize that materials and structure go together. I am glad it is so light, because it is easy for my kids to use and nothing gets damaged when they use the sticks as weapons. (Let's face it! It happens!) When my daughter complains that the building is falling over, I just tell her she needs to redesign it. And she does, and she learns. She not only learns about building things, she learns that its OK to go back and redo it, make it better, and that if she puts her mind to it, she can build ANYTHING! At least until we run out of parts!!!
Loads of fun! December 27, 2008
We recently played with this at a friend's house and then had to go home and buy one. It was fun for both young (2.5yrs) and old (8 yrs) and even the adults got into it.
