Every kid loves that secret space where they can crawl into and feel that they have some privacy. I had the woods growing up and I took full advantage of building forts. We have done the blankets over chair thing. After awhile, they are sagging and she is calling me in repeatedly to fix it. I was at Target and saw this little tent and knew it was perfect. It was easy to put together and now she can have a great place to read her books and sleep in it if she wants. She puts her pet clay lizard to guard the entrance when she is gone.
Today, for History, she had to write a report on taking a safari. We are studying Kenya, but she loves Snow Leopards. I know they are located in Asia, but she insisted writing on the leopard. When we were doing research, we came across a site that lets you adopt a leopard. So, for a $25 donation you get a fact sheet, certificate with their name on it and they mail her a stuffed animal of the leopard. I printed out the fact sheet and the certificate, she was so excited! Now, she can't wait to get her leopard and we will get a frame for the certificate.
Very cool fort! Baylee would LOVE one of those.
