What is a Play Fort?
A Play Fort is a unique place where kids take charge and learn to regulate their own behavior. The benefits of this type of play structure are many: It gives kids the opportunity to be creative, improve self-regulation, and exercise the brain. While you might not have the time to build a Play Fort, you can still give your child some creative input and allow them to have fun. Read on to learn more about this unique play structure.

Children are in charge
A fort may help build the parent-child connection. Forts allow parents to be part of the construction process, but they can only enter if the children invite them. Six-year-old Nacelle Bumford alternates between several forts in quarantine. She has a secret "office" near her mother's workspace. The forts are a powerful way for parents and kids to bond, while feeding off each other's moods. In the digital age, parent-child connections may be more important than ever.

They can be creative
For parents who want to keep the daytime play time creative, building a fort with your children can be a great way to get the kids involved. Kids love to build forts and constructing one will give you a chance to observe their playful nature. If you're not sure how to go about it, you can always demonstrate to them, or browse through the internet for ideas. Either way, it will be a lot of fun to watch your child create their own world!

They develop self-regulation
Play forts are an excellent way to encourage self-regulation. Children are constantly changing their bodies and moving in new positions. Activating this sensory system supports self-regulation. The fort encourages children to keep themselves calm, calming and focused. It also supports attention, balance, muscle coordination, and attention. Play forts are fun, engaging, and provide a safe space for kids to explore their world.

They encourage physical activity
While it is easy to imagine a forest full of tree houses, modern communities rarely provide the space for free play. Consequently, parents must come up with creative ways to encourage physical activity. Play Forts are one such way to get kids moving. In addition to promoting physical activity, these structures can also encourage creativity and imagination. Moreover, they can help children meet the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity daily. This can be a good time-saver for working parents.

They build social skills
Play Forts help build social skills and enhance teamwork. They encourage collaboration as children negotiate the design of a fort. They also help build leadership skills as they reconcile differences and delegate tasks. Play Forts are a fun way to teach children how to be polite and helpful. If you're wondering how Play Forts help children develop social skills, here are some ways you can make them happen. You can even use your own fort as a classroom!
