But how on earth can they actually build one? In <I>Forts for Kids</I>, an inspirational yet practical guide, David Stiles, the most trusted authority on DIY building projects, shows them how.</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1">Assuming no previous experience from the fort builder, the book starts with the basics for kids and their parents: how to  buy wood, and essential skills such as sawing and nailing. It includes a brief history of forts and more than twenty projects ranging from the simple (a blanket and umbrella fort) to the more challenging (a stockade fort). The book even includes forts made of snow, sand, or branches. An accessories section features projects that can be made in just a few hours, such as a slide, swing, catapult, periscope, cannon, and water balloon launcher.</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P></DIV>
