Happy Fort Friday! Here at All for the Boys we celebrate Fridays with some awesome fort inspiration from around the web. Whether made of sheets, cardboard, wood, or sticks, forts are a place we can go to transport our minds to wherever we want to go. You can play, dream, relax, or create in a fort. Everything is better in a fort!

If you want to share your fort (or an awesome one you found) just send it to me!

How cute are these 2 boys enjoying their fort in Mexico?! (my boys LOVE when they see your fort submissions from countries other than our own)

And a 4 poster bed makes the perfect setup for fort building. This adorable girl thinks so too!

You really, really need to check out this whole post of the building process for this fort from Eilas Photography

Love this Extreme Home Makeover playground

Supposedly these were plans for JK Rowlings' kids backyard paradise! Secret tunnels, rope bridge... can I come play in it?!

and another gorgeous fort bed from Lifetime Kidsrooms. They have beautiful designs!

I love the concept of kids getting something fun and interactive in the mail every month. Who doesn't love getting fun mail? I'm an adult and I love it! We were given the chance to check out a company that does just that - sends you an interactive box full of fun each month - BabbaCo by Jessica Kim!

This box has all the elements you could want. Creating, exploring, interacting, even digital downloads and interaction! The box we got to check out was all about sprouting seeds.

My boys thought the seed sorting activity was pretty cool and I'd have to say it most likely would have been their favorite when they were younger too!

It's recommended for ages 3-6 and I'd say that's right on. Mine probably would have been good with it around 2 maybe up to 7 or so but there are certainly activities that ALL the kids can join in on! It's definitely something on my "gift list" as a fun unique gift to give.

How would you like to win your own BabbaBox?! (If you're viewing this in your rss feed click on over to the blog to enter)

DIY BOW & ARROW

I'm sure my son is not the only one hit with the bow & arrow craze lately. I saw this and wanted to make it instantly. 

It's a DIY PVC Bow and Arrow from Skip to my Lou

There is a great tutorial over at her site. Go learn how to make one and let me know how you like it! We'll be trying it out as soon as we can run to the hardware store. I'm beginning to think PVC is one of those things I should keep on hand!

I posted about this folding cardboard playhouse for that my friend Jenn from Ambrosia Creative made but this is almost better. Mini Cardboard forts. Perfect for LEGO minifigs!

Find the tutorial over at Hello Bee

Remember these little LEGO tents too?!
