Yes, the Prelude -- it's very pretty. If you are only a little bit more ambitious, look at the Pavane.

Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn? I'm not sure, but it was my 1st piece of Ravel.. It's not that hard, though.. It's a beautiful piece

Just like most of Ravel's work!

Yes definitively the Prelude, which Ravel composed to the attention of then 14 yrs old Jeanne Leleu for her sight-reading examination for Paris Conservatoire graduation.

Otherwise there are also those two pieces "A la manière de... Borodine (Valse)" and "A la manière de... Chabrier" which are quite beautiful and do not sound too hard (but actually I don't know, maybe there's a trap).
