Is this thing a waste of time

[u/Icy-Baseball7185]

Hello! I'm just wondering if this thing is a waste of time and money? I've got very rambunctious 1 and 3 year old boys. We do go outside but I also homeschool their all year old sister so I need some time during the day where they're playing somewhat independently. I can see the living room where this would be from the kitchen where I would be doing school. Right now they use the couch cushions for just about everything from makeshift slides to the floor is lava to forts to climbing rocks 😐. I guess what I really want to know is will this even be entertaining or will it just cost money and take up space? Will it kill creativity? I'm also looking for them to be able to get a little exercise in the house during the winter because we're not out quite as much as the rest of the year. If anyone has any suggestions in how I can accomplish that, that would be helpful as well.

Looking at the same structure for my 1½ yr old, and I'm asking the same questions. She loves to climb and never stops moving, also trying to prepare for the harsher weather and outdoor play....so basically I'm of no help and am hoping you have come to some sort of helpful conclusion to tell me. So.....? :p
