Fort Kit for Little Super Heroes

I made this great super hero fort kit for my grandson who loves to build tents in the house with blankets. My kit uses two large pieces of fabric (1 plain brown, 1 camo, but any kind you choose will work, even bed sheets) to which I sewed 2 stretchy ties at each corner of the fabric pieces. I used strips of an old T-shirt cut about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long for the ties.

Included in the kit are some glo-stix, super hero washable tattoos, a little flashlight for fun, and clothes pins in case some extra holding power was needed for building the tent. You can decide if you want your little one to have the pins or not, as some pins are pretty pinchy. I decorated a canvas bag that I had on hand with a cool super hero design and put all the fort supplies inside. It turned out terrific and was s easy. All for about ten bucks.
