As the mom of 3 of them, I was inspired to create the Original Fortamajig and am delighted to be featured on the Daily Grommet. Based on the classic play theme of building blanket forts, the Fortamajig allows kids the ease and flexibility of creati...
I don.t think this is original. It is available on a lot of survival/ camping/backpacking web sites. My son has been camping for over a year with his. The only difference is the size. My son's is for a grownup and this one is for kids.
Don't get ...
Can you tell when either the blue or lime Fortamajig will be available again? I am interested in purchasing one. I think it makes a great gift. My kids were always making forts!...
@julie: Right now they are expecting them by mid-December, but unfortunately any unforeseen delay could cause this date to be missed and therefore not available for holiday delivery. ...
@anonymous - it is a bit of a Catch-22. To support innovation we often feature products that aren't in mass production. As a society, we have become accustomed to the prices of goods that are mass-produced with lower quality materials and cheaper lab...
The concept is interesting, but the price is unrealistic for a modified nylon tarp. When the price come down, I'll consider a purchase....

Fit for a Fortress
What kid doesn’t love making a fort with blankets and chairs? And what parent doesn’t cringe a little when the kids grab your best clean sheets to make their fortress? With the Fortamajig, kids can exercise their architectural creativity and keep your special linens out of the game.
The inventor is Katherine Huck, a mom of three who wanted to create a safe, portable way for kids to build their own play spaces. She designed an 8’ x 8’ square of polyester fabric with a built-in door and window. Velcro loops make it easy to attach the Fortamajig to whatever structure is handy — a chair, table leg, doorknob, tree branch, fencepost, you name it. So you won’t be dealing with duct tape attached to the upholstery either. Kids can use their imagination to build a tent, tunnel, or fort in any spot, indoors or outside. You can tie it to a pair of beach chairs for instant shade at the beach, or extend it from a curtain rod to make a canopy. It’s machine washable, which makes cleanup a cinch if playtime gets messy. So round up the cavalry and start building!
