It's a big hit with all the grandkids. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Review: Durable Product for Years of Creative Fun! - Bought two of the explorer kits, one for each grandkid.

If I’m buying 2, should I get one of each, or just two of the same one?** A: The Builder Kit is the older/previous version of our Explorer Kit. I would recommend to buy 2 of the same kit so they work the best together. I would also recommend purchasing the Explorer Kit if you think you might might to expand into additional kits or the Creator Kit at a later date. **Q: What is the difference between the explorer and the builder kits? If I’m buying 2, should I get one of each, or just two of the same one?** A: Hi Emily, The Explore Kit is the newer version of our product, you should definitely get two of the same so they work the best together. Thank you, Kim Make-A-Fort **Q: product description says "recommend 2-3 Explorer kits for large forts". what does that mean?** A: Each kit is sold separately. One kit includes 20 panels, 18 triangle braces and 86 foam connectors. If you buy multiple Explorer Kits, the pieces from each kit are interchangeable to build bigger forts. Each panel is about 2′ x 2′ and each Explorer Kit includes 20 panels. You could make a 2′ x 2′ tunnel with three panels and repeat this six times to create a tunnel that is about 12′ long with a single Explorer Kit. Or pick one of our Projects and build a big fort, maze, or tunnel. A single Explorer Kit allows you to build a fort that requires up to 8′ x 8′ of floor space. Or buy multiple Explorer Kits to build really big things (most customers buy three Explorer Kits). One Explorer Kit is good for kids ages 4-5, if you have older kids and multiple kids we recommend buying 2-3 Explorer Kits. **Q: Can this withstand rain if the fort is built outside?** A: Our forts are made from an upgraded cardboard. They are NOT water proof and will get damaged if they get wet, so can not be built outside in the rain. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Hit with the Grandkids! *by A***W on March 21, 2026* Bought this as a Christmas gift for our granddaughter who loves to build, explore and play hide and seek. It's a big hit with all the grandkids.

I do like that it all stores back into its box because there are a lot of pieces. Because it’s cardboard, it’s not toddler-proof in terms of durability, but it is pretty easy to use and allows for a fun, screen-free activity. I’d probably buy it again, even at the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit - Build Really Big Forts for Kids - Endless Play for Ages 4 and Up - Build Incredible Forts, Mazes, Tunnels, and More - Durable, Reusable, and Made in USA - Make-A-Fort Building Kit - Create Giant Indoor Forts for Kids - Screen-Free Creative Play - Durable, Reusable - Made in USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/371524043-make-a-fort-explorer-kit-big-fort-building-set-kids](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/371524043-make-a-fort-explorer-kit-big-fort-building-set-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
