PLAYVIBEFort Building Kit - 130 Pieces - Indoor & Outdoor Play, Building Toys & Creative Forts

This is a great kit for your kids. My little girl loves her tents and this has kept her entertained for hours. She can assemble in many different configurations. It is great for a childs imagination. With one kit, she was able to build a couple of small tents and connect them with a small tunnel or you can build one large tent. I will say that the larger you go, the flimsier it gets. Performs better in smaller configurations. All in all, good value for the money.

Bought this for my 6 yr old grandson. I love the concept of this but some the poles don't fit into the balls very well and then some of them slip out too easily which makes it very difficult to put together and it's not very sturdy. This is not something my grandson can do himself due to how the poles fit into the balls. There are definitely better products out there so I would not recommend this one.

The tiny human loves to build forts. The only complaint is they are sturdy enough to put a blanket on them they will bend and it is a bit sketchy when doing so.

This is fun for a bit, but not the best quality. I feel like the sticks might be slightly different lengths, and some of the holes don't hold the sticks well, so the forts are always leaning and coming apart. We still have fun with it, and it still gives us something to do.

Got this product for my grandson to build a fort to play in that he could put a sheet or blanket over to make it like a tent. He can not assemble it on his own. It takes extreme strength to twist the poles into the holes provided in each ball. The pole has to be pushed all the way in for it to not pop out. It took over an hour just to assemble the bottom half of a structure that we had chosen. I had blisters on my hands at that point from squeezing, twisting and pushing for so long. I'll wait until another day to try to complete the structure. It is very sturdy.

Fun for kids big and small

I really wanted this to work. I was excited for it to work, and to a degree it does but overall it was a major disappointment.This kit is probably fine for kids under the age of 5, or under a certain size. The kit comes with instructions as well that were not too difficult for my son to follow. He is 10. after he built the igloo, we put blankets on the structure and it collapsed. I bought two of these kits thinking we would build some grand forts. But the construction and the materials would not allow it.As the structure buckled under the light weight of the blankets you get around the holidays, (the light weight blankets you get when no one knows what to get you), I thought we could reinforce the structure with a little bit of know how. After some reengineering, the fort held but leaned to one side and did not feel sturdy. Also all of the designs are designed for smaller children and my son did not fit inside any of the predesigned forts.The way the balls are designed it can be difficult to build certain structures as the balls have a patter for building but that is not clear at all and can be frustrating for younger kids. It took me a bit to figure it out. For structures like the pyramid, it took a long time to build, was confusing to line up everything correctly, and even when you did the structure pulled apart from the center of the walls and was not sturdy.I pulled out all the stops, and tried to build something that was over engineered with all the pieces I had but at the end of the day after building several structures the connecting points (holes in the balls) were all already worn and stretched and as these pieces all press fit together, nothing would stand with any kind of weight placed on top of it.The concept is great, and I wanted this for STEM learning and a cool fort kit, but in the end, this product is not worth the money and hassle for older children that still want a fort and cool secluded place for their reading, drawing, or other fun activities. The hollow tubing and ball construction would be better if it were dowels. Like the old Tinker Toys but scaled up for fort building.

This is seriously a waste of money! Bought for my 2 year old as a Christmas gift and he was so excited because what kid doesn’t love forts? We took it out the box and started trying to put it together. First thing we noticed was the holes in the balls are all different sizes. Some were way to big for the pole to fit in and some were way to little. There were a few that were the right size but the poles wouldn’t stay connected. Secondly once we finally got what resembled a structure built we tried putting a lightweight twin sheet over it and it immediately collapsed!! It’s very flimsy you can’t even get inside it without it falling down. The product description is very misleading!
