- Learned about the properties of different materials (e.g. strength, durability) when selecting materials for the fort
- Understood the importance of stability and balance when constructing the fort
- Learned about the effects of weather and natural elements on the fort (e.g. wind, rain, sun)
- Understood the concept of shelter and how the fort provides protection from the elements
- Learned about the importance of teamwork and communication when building the fort with others
Encourage continued development by having the child research different types of forts and their designs. They can also experiment with different materials and test their durability and strength. Additionally, they can learn about the history of forts and their significance in different cultures and time periods.
