I bought this because my 2.5 year old son really enjoyed his indoor foam stair/slide combo, and I wanted to get him another way to be active indoors. He is all about this balance board. We call it his "bridge" and he walks over it, crawls under it, uses it as a ramp, etc. It's one of the main pieces in his playroom that other toys interact with. He uses it more than his train table or table/chair set we got him. It is super sturdy, and I imagine it will be useful for him in new ways as he gets older. I highly recommend adding one of these to your playroom or bedroom!
