Review: Durable Product for Years of Creative Fun! - Bought two of the explorer kits, one for each grandkid. Bought them two and a half years ago. This is one of the best "toy" purchases we've made. It's so durable and they love it! They've built castles, forts, planes, boats, and anything in-between. Easy enough for the kids to put together by themselves (over 6 yrs) and fun enough for the whole family. The boxes don't take up much space and the pieces hold up well over time. A quality product for hours of fun and creative play away from screens. The kids are counting, strategizing, working together, creating, and having a good time. When my kids were little they made forts with chairs and blankets, but with these kits my grandkids can create anything they can dream up. They often add blankets and pillows to take their creations to the next level. Definitely recommend this product to anyone. Having more than one kit allows you to build so many things.
Review: Great gift to get your kids away from the TV - The kids couldn't wait to build their fort, and love playing in it. I have to buy more sections.

## Questions & Answers

**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: 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.
