We love these blocks. They don’t thrill Ero since he seems to like bold colors but Lou builds like mad with them.

I like having a small set too, I think too many can be over whelming for a young child.

Our set is from Brio:
BRIO Natural Blocks – 50 pcs

There are also great sets from Haba, but more money and more blocks: Basic Building Blocks – Large Starter Set
