Ingenious Magnetic Fort Blocks

Squishy Forts is the Fort Construction Kit You've Been Waiting For

Take your home fort building to the next level with Squishy Forts, the fort construction kit you've always dreamed of.

Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, Squishy Forts allows your children (but we both know you'll be using them too) to design and build the fort of their dreams without having to worry about troublesome issues like structural integrity. Squishy Forts basic set comes with six columns and four walls which is enough to build a decent fort, though you might want to use some blankets and sofa cushions if you plan on having company over.

The truly best part about this fort construction kit is that they stick together via "rare earth (neodymium) magnets" letting your kids—and you—unleash their inner architect and when they're done, you can pack away the cushions and convert them to a comfy ottoman.
