I love the shapes and colors but the amount of pieces you get for the price is a lot less than other brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wooden-blocks#post-2643947 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:55:01 +0000 Periwinkle 2643947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's 4th birthday is coming up and we think he would really enjoy a set of wooden blocks to build with. I had a set growing up of the unfinished wood ones and I'd like to find something similar (very sturdy) that LO can use for a long time.</p> <p>I've looked around and it seems there are many different varieties out there. If you have a set to recommend, please let me know! </p>
