Great forts...MUST read instructions!
Initially, like many others, I did not read the instructions and was quite frustrated and disappointed with Crazy Forts; I felt they were cheap, wouldn't stay together, etc. However, after READING THE INSTRUCTIONS my opinion is completely changed. The 'sticks' stay inside the 'balls' and the structures stay strong no matter how much my 3 year old, his friends, myself or Daddy crawl in and out and play inside. The key is to have the 'crazy fort' logo UP on every ball and to TWIST the sticks to get them to be secure. When creating the angles, you may have to rotate the ball but the logo still stays up. We build a new fort every morning and it lasts all day! I'M SO GLAD I FINALLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! It is too difficult for my 3 year old to build himself but that is expected as even the rating on the box is for 'ages 5 and up'.
