Fort
- Designer: Julia Grabowska, Weronika Pawlikowska
Guiding Thought
If you can diagnose a child’s joy and its intensity, you must see that the greatest joy comes from overcoming difficulty, reaching a goal, and discovering a mystery. The joy of triumph and the happiness of independence, mastery, and control.

Student Project
Fort (Baza)
Target age group: children aged 2–4.
Our idea for expanding the functionality of the Good Wood wooden rocker is to design elements that allow children to build and play in a fort. Inspired by our own childhood experiences and observations of children’s behavior, we believe this type of play is not only fun but also supports development in many areas.
The toy promotes:
- fine motor skills
- creativity
- sensory skills
- imagination
- curiosity about the world
Features and play ideas
- Children can create their own imaginative play scenarios in the fort — a classic element of child-led games.
- The rocker can transform into a cozy corner for reading or listening to stories, offering children a moment of calm surrounded by a “forest” setting.
- The fort provides a sensory-rich environment that sparks creativity and encourages hands-on exploration of shapes and structures.
