we have a pop up cube and two tunnels. We made the rule, if you lay on, try to squish, hurt friends, or go the wrong way you have to take a tunnel break. So far ours look great adn get used daily (its winter)

My tents never survive for long. I despise activities where I have to overly micromanage for extended periods of time. I've found with the tents if I do so much as go to do a diaper change the kids go crazy. So every few months I think "Hey lets get those out" and we go over expectations and everyone knows the rules and 10 minutes later I am putting them away because it was too much.
Last time even the newly 1 year old figured out how to stand inside and tip them over or crash them from the outside.
I've found them to be most useful with my crawlers... once they can stand its over.
We had a ball pit at some point, but all the balls are long gone. However, we've moved a couple times and I still occasionally find a ball.Comment

Not just you!I HATE ball pits.
(I have tried the PVC DIY one and have a blow up pool)
The balls are tossed and pitched everywhere.
I spend more time saying "keep the balls in the pool" and/or "stop throwing the balls" that it's not fun for any of us.
I also HATE the pop-up tents and tunnels.
I've always got that one kid that has to try and lay down (from the outside) on whoever is on the inside of the tunnel and then the one inside cries.
Or I have kiddos that get half way through and get freaked out and want out NOW! Well...I am not climbing into it to help so figure out how to crawl all the way in or out.
The tents just fold back up if they aren't used correctly and so far in all my years of business I have yet to figure out how to get them to not try to move it all over or lay on its sides (collapsing it etc) so honestly, I personally find them BOTH to be a bigger PITA than they are worth.
But that might just be me.
