A blanket fort is a construction commonly made using blankets, bed sheets, pillows, and sofa cushions.[1] It is also known as a couch fort, pillow fort, sheet fort or den.
Parenting books frequently suggest building blanket forts as an activity for parents to participate in play with their children. A blanket fort is made by grabbing blankets around the house and setting them up in a room-like manner.[2] Furniture such as a dining table, a bunk bed, chairs, or an overturned couch can form the foundation for a blanket fort. Clothespins, binder clips, and safety pins may be used to connect blankets and sheets.[3][4]
