Fort Building 101

January 21, 2020 by Chad de Bree

You may have heard, Honey B loves to construct forts. And she has constructed some pretty elaborate nest fortresses. You too can build post-lunch forts just as great as Honey B by following these simple steps:

First, grab your materials to build your walls. Benches, blankets, toys, etc. Troll heads are great too, according to Honey B:

Do you have everything? Good! Now you can start building!

Start by placing enrichment structures around you. Then grab your blankets and begin placing them around you to build your nest. You may also cover yourself with one (optional):

Next, grab a sock and mull over the idea of wearing one to keep your feet warm:

Then decide that you wish for your toes to be free from foot prisons, and grab your toes to appreciate their freedom:

And there you have your Post-Lunch Nest Fortress!

 

And finally, an important message from Mave:

Be sure to practice good oral hygiene after meals:
