\nWith a few simple materials you ca n create a structure your little one can safely get lost in! This fort bui lding workshop led by Kaija Marshall goes into the mechanics of PVC pipes (inputs\, outputs\, and angles) and the basic structures needed to support fabrics and create a cozy hideaway.

Successful pretend play requires imagination\, understanding\, and feeling safe and secure in the real world.
