The Original Fortamajig
Since we love our Connectables from The Happy Kid Company, it was only a matter of time before The Original Fortamajig joined our family.
The Happy Kid Company has developed The Original Fortamajig, an award-winning toy that engages both children and adults in creative play.
Presented with the Parents’ Choice Gold Award, The Original Fortamajig is a large 8×8 panel of endless possibilities.
The Original Fortamajig is everything your child needs to create any kind of playspace anywhere!
Nine inner loops and 24 adjustable outer loops allow little engineers to make a fort, hide out, tent, teepee, clubhouse, or hiding place indoors or out, with endless anchoring possibilities.
The Original Fortamajig has two door flaps that can remain open, or close with velcro to create a wall.
Four pockets in the corners of The Original Fortamajig can be used to stabilize your structure, or to store special treasures.
The Original Fortamajig is made of durable, water resistant, and machine washable nylon ripstop.
The Original Fortamajig is better than a prefabricated playhouse for many reasons:
- Versatility. The Original Fortamajig can be configured into a variety of structures, making for a continually exciting play experience.
- Portability. The Original Fortamajig comes with its own tote bag, and folds up to about the size of a pair of adult sized jeans. We plan to take our Fortamajig on the road for fun while traveling, and also to divide shared family hotel rooms so that our boys can have a sense of privacy.
- Long-term play value. While plastic or wooden playhouses are designed for itty-bitty sized children, The Original Fortamajig can still be enjoyed by tweens and beyond. And by “beyond” I pretty much mean “my age”.
The Original Fortamajig also engages the imagination, for open-ended pretend play. - Value. The Original Fortamajig costs $69.99 and will last for years and years. Compare that to playhouses that cost more than twice as much, and are given to mold/dirt/rotting.
The Original Fortamajig makes a great holiday gift that siblings of different ages can enjoy playing with together.
If you are looking for a virtually indestructible toy that encourages creative, open-ended, active play, and is
extremely, unequivocally FUN, look no further than The Original Fortamajig!
