Whether you made them from pillows, chairs or bed sheets, kids forts were the habitat where imaginations and creativity ran loose. However, there were a few downsides for both parents and children of classic forts -- mainly that they could never last. The Fortsy inflatable fort stops messes from wreaking havoc for days on end while maintaining a magical design. The fort can be blown up with a pump before playtime in as little as one minute and taken down at the end to make room for guests.
Fortsy comes in a number of magical designs like a "Royal Castle" or "Pretty Playhouse" for children to let their imaginations go wild. Made from soft, medical grade polyvinyl material, the forts are safe and even machine washable. Plus the kids forts' modular designs still allow for kids to use their creativity by adding towers or tunnels to the base structures.
