You are talking about the Grim & Spiel ones? Get the "large" version of the elements set. AWESOME play. We collected them after DS turned 2 and they are played with every single day. I'd probably gift them once a quater. It was always cool to get a new part. Which there were other elements to add... The size will be fine and has held up to a large play. DH stepped on one of the pieces but it was easily repaired.

I've been trying to track down a reasonably priced xtra-large version myself but they are out of stock everywhere.
