So my son has been asking me to build him a fort castle. I hesitate because it would take me hours. But after a few days of keep on showing me photos of the fort castle that he wanted I finally agreed to make him one. And so, around the town we go looking for cardboard. We got it at our grocery store for free and then went back to start with our project.

And so this is the photo he showed me. And this is how I decided on how it should be. Just a simple square that act as his playpen of playhouse since I'm not convinced that he would spend all his time there. And sure enough, after hours of making a children size cardboard fort, he placed all his stuff toys and his favourite cars inside and left it just as it is until today. Once in a while he would show the fort to his friends but that's just about it. But it's ok, I got a new title for my blogpost then.
This is the entrance and he named his fort castle 'Pagavi Castle'.
The size of this diy playpen is 40 inch x 50 inch and 32 inch in height and I used about 4 medium boxes. In order to attach the edges of the boxes I used hot glue gun as it dries very fast and then you can move to the other section to work on.
The tower is just enough for him stand and peek through the small window. But as I say at the beginning, this whole-afternoon-diy-project is left in playroom never to be used until God knows when.
