Duplo's?  Mega Blocks?  Something foam instead?

We want to get Sam a small set, any recommendations?

Mega Blocks have been a huge hit for DD since age 1, we also really have loved the B.Zany animal blocks from Target - colorful, fun shapes, and a neat soft plastic material (but not plastic).  The B.Zany are more traditional blocks and not lego-like.  Oh and WalMart has a decent set of wooden traditional blocks with letters and numbers.  We're big on blocks here.

We have both megablocks and the wooden ones.  I will say the megablocks get played with more.  The wooden ones they like to just dump on the floor so I usually hide them somewhere!

DS loved his MegaBloks and still does.

 He also LOVED these

Bonus was that they were both stackable AND chewable. And they squeak when you squeeze them.
