Stop before the fun part
Keep the blocks with you and wait for your child to ask for the next one. Count to 10 in your head. A look, a sound, a reach, a sign or a word all count.

A wooden engine and two cars with 15 colorful shaped blocks that stack onto pegs. Handing over blocks one at a time creates easy chances to ask for colors and shapes.
