I have the cardboard ones and they are pretty good. I have the small wooden blocks too. Also I have these blocks (they are like lego) but many years ago they sold them, they are awesome for the 15 month crowd because they are big and sturdy and easy to connect. But I would love real big blocks and the waffle blocks would be a huge hit with my own kids.

cardboard blocks are pretty inexpensive at farm and fleet or fleet farm. I got them for like 15 dollars! They came with three different sizes that are different colors and kinda look like bricks! If they are not available now look closer to thanksgiving when there toyland comes out. I ordered them online last year and the kids have loved them & they have held up really well!Comment

Just like anything --- you buy what you can afford, but you get what you pay for.
There is nothing wrong with starting out with cardboard and upgrading later on, though, it is certainly easier to start with the good ones.
Try
craigslist - and put an ad on there asking for unwanted toys, blocks, etc.
free section of craigslist
freecycle
rummage sales
tag sales
consignment shops
family/friends - ask if they know anyone who has anything (people love to purge toys they don't want)
check with your state - mine offers a list of closed centers and then you can call them asking for items to buy
good luck!Comment
