The Fun Fort from The Happy Kid Company!
What kid doesn’t love to make forts? Emma and I have made a couple before, but they were definitely not durable – they fell down after 10 minutes or less. Maybe it’s my fort-building skills… they must be nonexistent. ;-) Try to keep a fort up for a 3-year-old with chairs, blankets, shoes to keep things in place, and you’ll be frustrated. But the Fun Fort is perfect for fort-building! It’s something that older and younger kids will love, and it’s velcro-and-loop closures mean frustration-free playtime.
Some of the things we love:
- It’s made of a lightweight but durable material – it reminds me of a very light and thin tarp. Great for outside or inside!
- It’s huge at 8′ x 8′!
- It’s versatile and can be made into anything your child thinks up! A tent, a bed canopy, a tunnel, or a four-walled fort. It will definitely challenge your child’s imagination!
- It comes in three vibrant colors including pink, blue, and lime green.
- Stretchy Velcro loops (20 of them!) all around the Fun Fort make it easy to attach to anywhere! There are also 9 inside loops.
- It folds up easily and even comes with a matching bag for easy traveling.
Final Thoughts: We really enjoyed testing this Fun Fort and can’t wait till summer so we can take it outside! For now, though, it has made Emma’s room a little haven:
We love the way Emma’s Twilight Turtle shines its stars on the Fun Fort, too. :)

These were so easy to make! First, I used a free printable nativity from Hart of the Mountain Studio. They were meant to be finger puppets, but I wanted to do something different…
We printed it out on cardstock,… Continue reading
I always recommend the HALO SleepSack as a total necessity for new moms. I’ve used these wonderful zip-up wearable blankets with both my babies and they are awesome for keeping little toes warm in the cold winter months! They’re not just for cool nights, though, they keep baby covered throughout the night anytime – and since loose blankets are a no-no in the crib due to the risk of SIDS, the SleepSack gives you peace of mind that your little one is kept warm and safe all night long.
The HALO SleepSack…
- comes in warm microfleece, 100% cotton, 100% organic cotton, and plush Velboa dot materials. Some are warmer for very cold nights, and others are lightweight for summer and spring.
- is available from preemie to toddler sizes.
- is sleeveless to prevent overheating and meant to be worn over pajamas.
- unzips from the bottom for easy diaper changes!
- has lots of room for kicking in the bottom.
Here’s Isaac in his HALO SleepSack:
