No air conditioner? No problem! It takes less than 5 minutes to beat the summer heat by making a fun “Fan Fort”. Your children will LOVE this and so will you!

HOW TO MAKE A FAN FORT
-Grab a fitted bed sheet with the elastic corners (preferably Queen or King size).
-Find a sturdy anchor that is tall and heavy (chair or table).
-Make sure the fan is off when you initially place it inside the fitted sheet, using the fan’s weight to hold down the one end.
-Fasten the other end of the sheet with the chair legs or something tall and heavy.
-Turn the fan on and step inside an air-conditioned bubble fort

If you don’t own a floor-fan and only have the taller ones, you can still make a fan fort on top of your bed! secure the corners of the sheets with small pillows, bean bags or rocks.
