HINSDALE, IL, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kidz Forts Named Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient for Innovative Kids’ Fort-Building Kits
Kidz Forts, creator of an innovative modular fort-building system that encourages imaginative, screen-free play, has been named a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, Kidz Forts Play Fort Kits received the prestigious Gold designation and were recognized as outstanding family-friendly products.
“Receiving the Mom’s Choice Gold Award is a tremendous honor for Kidz Forts,” said Dean Likas, founder and creator of Kidz Forts. “I created the first Kidz Forts prototype after watching my five-year-old daughter turn an ordinary cardboard box into her favorite place to play. This recognition reinforces our belief that some of the best childhood experiences begin with imagination, creativity and the freedom to build something of your own.”
Kidz Forts creates durable fort building kits for kids that provide the components to build forts, castles, tunnels, playhouses, hideouts, NERF® blaster barricades and other structures limited only by children’s imaginations. The kits’ heavy-duty corrugated panels and patented connectors help create sturdy structures and can be combined in numerous configurations, allowing children to build, take apart and rebuild existing structures or create entirely new ones.
Recommended for children ages 4–14, Kidz Forts was designed to promote creative thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and active, screen-free play. The durable, eco-friendly kits are made in the USA and can be enjoyed independently or with siblings, friends and family members.
“For a small, family-founded company, receiving this recognition is especially meaningful,” Likas added. “Our goal has always been to create a product that kids return to again and again—not because a screen tells them what to do, but because every new structure begins with their own ideas.”
The Mom’s Choice Gold Award adds to Kidz Forts’ growing recognition as an engaging alternative to single-use play structures and screen-based entertainment. The Mom’s Choice Awards® Honoring Excellence seal helps parents, educators, caregivers, gift buyers and retailers identify recognized family-friendly products.
