Every kid loves a treehouse. Treehouses represent escape, imagination, and freedom and they can inspire creative play like nothing else. Kids love a play space that is secretive and exclusive – you’ve seen the signs they make: “NO GIRLS ALLOWED!” They love creating their own “Clubhouse Rules” and sneaking off to their special hideout. Play in a treehouse promotes child development by boosting gross motor skills, providing opportunities for social interactions, and challenging strength and motor planning. These days, treehouses aren’t just simple wooden structures…check out these awesome fort and treehouse designs for kids. Create a space like this for your kids and they’re sure to see it as an invitation to play, learn, and grow!

Very interesting article. My children have long wanted me to help make them a tent, by the end of this article I will soon realize their dream :)
My boy has been inisitng on building a treehouse. It makes sense that a fort represents imagination and freedom to infants. Whit no doubt, I will drive to a near hardware store to start building it.
