There’s nothing like a good homemade fort to keep the kids entertained!
Either in the garden or inside on a raining day, a fort is the perfect place to play, read a book or watch a bit of TV.
But where do you starting when making a fort?
A Russian advertising agency, Instinct, has created six options for IKEA to make a fort at home – all with easy to follow instructions.
These fort ideas use stuff you can find at IKEA, like chairs, tables, blankets and books, but don’t worry; it’s easy enough to find this stuff without having to buy new.
