Few things in life offer quite the magical payoff of a good blanket fort. With some old linens and imagination, kids can suddenly transport themselves to a castle, a spaceship, or any number of far-flung destinations. That’s just the kind of novelty my 5- and 7-year-old daughters needed this winter, as we spent much of our time driving each other nuts in our five-room New York City apartment. Building forts may not offer the thrill of, say, traveling to Legoland, but I hoped it might ease the monotony of the rainy season and offer a good distraction from screens. Problem was, we needed a better way to build our fortresses.
