We've got several sets. Some are just plain coloured wooden blocks that you can pick up anywhere. The others are:

Manhattan Toy Create and Play Pattern Blocks: Amazon.co.uk: Baby (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0090S1Y4O/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00712NUS4&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0R8FTFGRD1VZPCA312WW)

Hape Fantasia Blocks Castle: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hape-International-E0418-Fantasia-Blocks/dp/B00712NUS4)

Wooden Alphabet Blocks : Wooden Alphabet Blocks : Early Learning Centre UK Toy Shop (http://www.elc.co.uk/Wooden-Alphabet-Blocks/135672,default,pd.html)

We've also got some foam bricks, a bit smaller than house bricks, but I can't find a link for those.

I saw these ....then made my own - constantly played with.
My coloured blocks came from Sainsbury and Wilkinson in the sale, great value, good quality cheap as chips.

My mindies fave bricks are the off cuts from my wood turning and we just had anew kitchen fitted and the new fave bricks are the triangles i cut off the work bench so it doesn't have corners. I just sand them down and keep n eye on them. As we use them outside to when we run out i buy some two by two and saw shapes ir cut up a few branches its great as they are so cheap i dont mind if they get painted stuck to artwork buried in sand. They are free to experiment.
