Kids these days. They don't even know how good they have it. Remember when a "fort" was just whatever configuration you could get the couch cushions to stand up in? The Fortamajig (a Summer 2007 "Dr. Toy" award-winner) brings fort-building technology into the modern age, and man, are we jealous. Okay, yes, the Fortamajig is basically a gigantic sheet that lets kids build a fort anywhere. But what makes it way cooler than a sheet are the velcro loops that help attach the fort to things like chairs, bedposts and tree branches... plus you can give your fort windows. Windows, people! Kids today have no idea how long previous fort-building generations suffered without windows! (By the way, if you're looking for your husband, he's probably out playing with the Fortamajig in the yard right now.) $69.95 to $89.95 at online retailers.
