Simgoing 6-Piece Wooden Fort Building Clips for Blankets and Silks
The Simgoing 6-piece wooden fort clip set lets you quickly attach blankets and silks to build forts, tents, and hideaways. Each clip is crafted from smooth natural wood with a white finish and measures about 5.1 x 3.4 x 1.2 inches. A user-friendly design makes clipping and releasing simple, and the set includes six replacement rubber bands for extended use.
How do these wooden clips work for fort building?
Each clip uses a spring-loaded mechanism (powered by rubber bands) to grip fabric firmly without damaging it. The wide jaw holds multiple layers of blanket or silk, letting you connect sheets, secure corners, or create doorways. The clips release easily when you want to adjust or dismantle your structure—no knots or tying required.

Why choose wooden clips for imaginative play?
Wooden construction adds a sensory element—warmth and texture that plastic lacks. These clips are popular in Waldorf and Montessori settings because they support open-ended, child-led play. Children build fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities as they figure out how to connect fabrics and keep their creations standing. The set’s size means it travels easily to the living room, backyard, or playroom.
Frequently asked questions about Simgoing fort clips
How many clips come in a set?
You get six clips plus six replacement rubber bands—so twelve bands total. That is enough to build a small fort or combine with other building sets.
What fabrics work best with these clips?
They grip most lightweight to medium-weight fabrics: cotton sheets, fleece blankets, play silks, and quilts. Very thick comforters may need two clips per connection.
Are the clips safe for young children?
The wood is smooth and free of splinters, and the rubber bands are contained within the clip design. However, like any small item, adult supervision is recommended for children under three to prevent choking on loose bands.
Can the clips be used outside?
Yes, the wood and rubber hold up well in dry outdoor conditions. Avoid leaving them in rain or extreme moisture to prolong their life.
