Toy Review: Make-A-Fort Named 2023 NAPPA Award Winner

The Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit was named a winner of the National Parenting Product Awards for 2023.  NAPPA conducted a toy review and recognized Make-A-Fort’s commitment to providing quality and innovative building toys for children.

“We’re thrilled to receive the NAPPA 2023 Toy Award for the Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit,” said Jake Williams, President of Make-A-Fort. “Our goal is to provide kids with an opportunity to explore their creativity and imagination and the Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit does just that. It’s an honor to be recognized by NAPPA for our efforts.”

The National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA) for 33 years has conducted a toy review for games and toy products.  Its prestigious awards program is trusted by parents looking for the best toys for their children.  The NAPPA Award is highly respected and is the “go-to” source for highlighting the best products in the toy industry.

The Make-A-Fort Explorer Kit is a versatile and easy-to-use fort kit. Kids can build their forts using cardboard panels with foam connectors.  A variety of designs can be created with the Explorer Kit and coupled with other Make-A-Fort kits, more elaborate structures can be built using these building toys. Once the fort is built, kids can use it as a secret hideout, a castle, or anything else they can dream up.  At the end of the day, the Explorer Kit can be stored away in its storage case to be brought out again to build the next creation.

NAPPA Award winners mean that a product has been carefully judged and deemed “best in its class” by expert judges, parent and child testers, and product reviewers.

Here are just a few comments by the Award evaluators: 

“This is a very well-made product. The cardboard panels are nice and thick and durable.”

“The fort designs that my kids came up with were pretty great. They also have a website with ideas and step-by-step instructions. The forts were very easy to get started and for my kids (6 and 9 years old) to figure out.”

“This was a big hit with our team!” said NAPPA Director Elena Epstein.
