Building forts from scratch is a classic way to have fun building large designs, but these boards provide a more structurally sound way to make large designs. These boards snap together at 30°, 45°, 90°, and 180° angles to make any large structure one can imagine. These constructs help facilitate the visualization of different angles and how pieces can combine to make different structures.
Fort Boards is a great way to introduce the design process to young children while promoting creative thinking. - D. C. Coble, Purdue Reviewer
