Air mattress forts are the BEST! They’re cozy, spacious, and perfect for adventures. Here’s a simple guide:
Gather Your Supplies:
- The Star: An air mattress (bigger is better!)
- The Canopy: Sheets, blankets, or lightweight comforters.
- The Supports: Chairs, pillows, couch cushions, boxes – anything sturdy.
- The Extras: Fairy lights, snacks, pillows, and your favorite books.
Let’s Build!
- Find Your Spot: Pick a room with space and move furniture out of the way if needed.
- Inflate the Base: Blow up that air mattress and make it nice and plump.
- Create the Roof: Drape your sheets and blankets over the mattress, leaving a cool entrance. Use chairs or pillows to prop up the middle for extra height.
- Secure Your Structure: Tuck the edges of sheets under the mattress to make it super snug. Use pillows to help hold things in place.
- Make it Magical: Add fairy lights for a starry touch, pillows and blankets for coziness, snacks for refueling, and books for adventures!
Awesome Fort Ideas:
- The Castle: Use a big sheet for the roof and create tall towers with pillows around your fort.
- The Secret Hideaway: Make a low ceiling for an extra-cozy hideout with lots of blankets.
- The Reading Nook: Fill it with pillows, a snuggly blanket, and your favorite stories.
Important Note: Always ask a parent for help and permission before getting your fort-building adventure started.
Have fun and get creative!
