Thinking of getting some for Christmas, but I don't know where to start! I don't want to get stuff that is too 'defining', if you see what I mean (ie you can only play with it in one way), but I'd like it to be possible to, for example, build a house and put people and animals in it.
Do I need to buy special house building sets? Do I need to buy a box of bricks (how many will we need?)
Do we need some sort of base plate thing for houses etc to sit on?
Help!
