OleFun 180 Pack Fort Building Kits for Kids 4, 5, 6, 7, 8+ Year Old Boys & Girls, Creative STEM Building Toys for DIY Castles, Tunnels, Play Tent, Ideal Gifts for Aged 5-8

We had purchased a set from Lakeshore Learning store, and we noticed we needed another set, because the first box was just not enough especially for my child's height. So I checked out on Amazon, to find something similar to what I had recently purchased, and this was exactly the same look alike I was hoping for to match and to connect with the set we have, and it truly does and actually has more parts versus the box I purchased within a store. I'm so happy I ordered this and so happy I picked out the exact item to match with this collection, now all I have to do is find a sheet that can fit the entire fort we built. Although I wanted a tent at first, I found that the fort building said would be best since my child likes to participate with building and I also put into consideration his height in a regular tent would not be of best fit for him, so the fort is perfect for active children and those that have a little height on them at young ages. It is easy to assemble, and if your child is tall while young I definitely would recommend ordering two sets instead of one. The quality is great but I would also recommend teaching your son not to lean on it nor try to sit on the sticks they are wobbly but build at your best creativity to control most of the wobble.

Was actually easy to put together and grandson enjoyed putting it together with some parent help. He is five. Held up well with grandson playing with it. Don’t expect it to last forever, it is plastic, but it’s held up so far.

Bought this as a gift for a 4-year-old, and the child really liked the building set. However, you may need to spend a little time showing the child how to play with it and helping them get interested at first.

kids love it. It should come with a bag though and some of the snap connectors can come apart, but it seems to be the best of the options. Following the design suggestions in the book is a good starting place but kids really love using their imagination and going off script.

We bought our son another very popular (very expensive) fort building kit and realized it was made of flimsy cardboard and wouldn’t last long. Decided to return that and get this one instead and it’s been perfect. It’s easy for my 8 year old to assemble. The value for the money is right on par. You can really Create quite a large fort with this and it’s easy to just throw a sheet over it.

I figured this would be the go to seeing as it was a cheaper option compared to some of the other models. I built my daughter a clubhouse style fort and used king size bed sheets to put on top of it after I finished. The fort held up, but the bracers bend so easily with bed sheets alone. I would not recommend using anything thick for shrouding it. I have my doubts this will hold up for a long time and can see it breaking after a couple of uses. I will say it was a lot of fun for my daughter and can build forts at multiple different sizes which is a plus.

So fun! Not the best thickest plastic but definitely does the job.

Great gift item! My grandchildren love it!

My son requested this for his (fourth) birthday as he had played with a similar set at playgroup & this has by far exceeded all expectations. He finds this much easier to connect & disconnect pieces & has many more build options with the connector pieces & instructions. His older sister & I have both got in on the action & enjoyed creating forts with this set, lots of fun for the family. I’m not one to leave reviews unless I feel strongly & I really do about this, a great gift & a truly awesome creative toy, highly recommend!

Good price compared to others on the market. Seems really sturdy which is why I picked this brand after reading many good reviews. It’s for a gift so not be used properly yet - just put some pieces together for a trial. Wish it had of come with lights that screwed into the balls but plan to use fairy lights to get the same effect. My grandson is always making make do cubby houses with chairs & blankets I know he will just love this gift.

I bought this for my nephew and he and his sister are spending hours playing in their fort. They love it and it’s very versatile. They’ve so far only made the one shape with help from dad, so I can’t comment on how easily it comes apart and goes back together, but from all reviews so far it’s wonderful.

After buying another brand of similar kit was not good we tried this olefun one and it's great. The poles are much stronger and they click into the connecting balls which are larger and stronger with holes in the correct positions for building shapes. Grandson loves his tent we built together.

Not incredibly friendly for idependant or child led play, took three adults to assemble and hours in completing some designs. Though once made was great fun.
