Revolutionizing Playtime with Stronger, More Creative Fort Kits

Designed for kids ages 4-14, Kidz Forts aims to provide an enriching playtime experience. These kits offer a break from video games and technology, giving kids the tools to build their own worlds, improve their creativity, and engage in collaborative problem-solving. The new twist-lock connectors ensure that Kidz Forts are sturdy, secure, and easy to assemble, creating a hassle-free building experience that will last through countless hours of play.

Kidz Forts: Combining Durability with Creativity

At the heart of Kidz Forts' design philosophy is a commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability. All kits are made in the USA, using 100% recycled paper materials that are also fully recyclable at the end of their life. With an emphasis on safety, the play forts have been rigorously tested to meet or exceed U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, including ASTM F963 Toy Safety Standards, as well as Canadian Consumer Product Toy Safety Standards. This dedication to safety ensures that parents can trust Kidz Forts for their children’s playtime.

"Our goal is to create something more than just a toy, we want to let kids create fort designs in their mind, and give them the hands-on ability to build it. Our design lets kids build the forts on their own, or with others. They inspire teamwork, and building them can be a fun family activity," says Dean Likas, Owner of Kidz Forts. "The twist-lock design and assembly method has allowed us to make the strongest and most durable forts on the market, making them not only fun but also reliable for hours of play."

From a Simple Idea to a Growing Business

The idea for Kidz Forts came from a simple moment of joy. While building their home, Dean’s five-year-old daughter transformed a cardboard box into an imaginative play fort. The time, creativity and passion she put into her fort inspired Dean to design a fort kit that would provide the same type of creative play but on a bigger, better scale. With over 30 years of experience in the paper industry, Dean set out to create a play fort that would be sturdy, reusable, and recyclable, utilizing his expertise to ensure that the product would withstand the wear and tear of active play.

After developing a prototype and seeing how much his daughter, nieces, and nephews loved it, Kidz Forts was born. The kits are now available to families everywhere, offering children the chance to explore their imaginations, work together, and create their own adventure, all while taking a break from television, tablets, and other screen-based devices.

The Patented Twist-Lock Connector Assembly: Innovation in Every Kit

What sets Kidz Forts apart from competitors is the patented twist-lock connector assembly method, which ensures that the forts are the strongest and most durable cardboard structures available. Unlike traditional connectors that may be flimsy or slip off, the twist-lock system allows for a secure, sturdy connection every time. The design of these connectors makes assembling and disassembling the forts easy, ensuring that kids can build and rebuild their creations as often as they like.

"We wanted to make sure that our forts are not only fun and creative but also practical," Dean explains. "The twist-lock connector system ensures that kids can build confidently, knowing their creations will stand up to the test of time and active play."
