Tegu Blocks are built to foster curiosity. The mystery of magnets offers an experience that starts with marvel and joy. The very first “click-clack” Of two blocks coming together sparks an instant magical discovery. Simple magnets and blocks become so much more, and Boundless Play is off and running. Tegu has reinvented the wooden block in a way that brings new life to a favored classic. By safely embedding magnets into each piece, Tegu blocks become curiously attractive for both kids and kids at heart. Defy gravity and push your imagination in ways never before possible. No instruction manuals or electronics; just toys that demand imagination and inspire limitless creativity across all ages. Open-ended play is endangered, but we’re bringing it back. Created with beautiful Honduran hardwoods and safe water-based finishes, these blocks have proven wildly addictive for kids (and kids at heart) and will encourage the simple joy of creating for generations.
Brilliantly simple and premium heirloom-quality toy that will last for generations

Blocks on Block
My 3yo toddle monster nephew loved it and so did his 1.5 yo sister. The only downside is I have to buy more now

Fun for kids of all ages (even the kid in us adults)!
Tegu blocks are a must-have for toddlers and adults alike. Yes, they are pricey, but they are worth every penny, nickel, and dime spent. Plus, the company itself is built upon a great initiative. My children and I enjoy quality one-to-one time with just this one set. It encourages imaginative play, and helps with math and science! It’s quality craftsmanship, bright colors, easy for small hands, and a great toy to tote around.We enjoy blocks very much and own a good number (200+) of Melissa & Doug blocks. These are much smaller in size and easy to throw into a jacket pocket, lunch bag, or diaper bag for a quick on-the-go trip. The best part is that they’re magnetic, which makes gathering the bunch quick and easy. We keep them on our dining table that we jokingly call “table of plenty” because we do everything on it: meals, art, school work, etc. So, while helping one child with school work, I use these to keep our toddler busy. Plus, it’s fun science for my kindergartener to discover the many things that are magnetic! We’re set on purchasing more and might even end up having to purchase a case. I have to say that this alone is a perfect gift for anyone from baby to adult.

Completely engaging
This unique, novel discovery toy is fabulous for a broad age range of children. The smoothness of the blocks, impeccable paint job, seamless connections hiding the magnets, demonstrates the terrific craftsmanship of Tegu. I love the story of Tegu (Tegucigalpa), as my grandfather lived in Honduras for many years. I originally found these blocks at a special toy store in Hot Springs and bought them for the science museum I work for. I bought this pack for my grand nephew for Christmas, and he was so absorbed with the kit that he didnât care to open any more gifts. Children will learn about physical sciences without even knowing it. I saw a similar looking product that costs less, but the paint job looked blobby and I want to support Tegu, the original creators.

Creative fun for 2 year-old
I wanted to find some new toys for my son that allow him to play creatively rather than prescriptively, so I decided to test out these blocks. Overall, I am very happy with them. My son enjoys playing with them and regularly asks for his blocks. We’ve enjoyed taking these in the car for him to have something to build on road trips. If he continues to show interest in them, we will likely expand our collection. I also find myself playing with them!I do wish the magnets were stronger. Some structures are very easy to build, but for others, the weight of the blocks at certain angles seems to be too much for the magnets. While trying to recreate the giraffe shown on the box, we had to be careful to support the blocks and to angle them precisely to keep them from drooping. Especially since we were making one of the advertised creations, I found this somewhat disappointing.Also, the finish on the blocks is a little less vibrant than in the photos and is somewhat irregular on the set we have (some of the colored blocks have a more opaque finish, while others seem to have less coats of paint). This is a very minor consideration and of course does not affect our play, but they are expensive blocks, so I think it is worth noting.

Gorgeous, heirloom quality table or floor blocks
Tegu’s 14 piece set of magnetic wooden blocks is a good introductory set to a terrific (if expensive) toy. Included are two cubes, two pillars, two long flats, two short flats, and two angled blocks. This gives it a bit more variety to experiment with than some of their similarly-sized and -priced sets. As with any type of block, the more blocks you have the more you can do with them, and this is especially true of Tegu which, thanks to their relatively small size and the magic of their magnets, is just begging to be built UP and OUT! (They also work amazingly well on a magnet board.) For blocks, I usually go for natural wood, but for Tegu I like their tinted blocks best because the color adds a little spice while still allowing the lovely natural grain of the wood to show through (unlike with painted blocks). One last thing to love: Tegu’s commitment to fair trade and sustainability, a learning opportunity for our children in its own right!

Educational, Fun and Beautiful Toys for Children and Adults Alike
These are such great blocks! I love the beautiful colors. They’re smooth and weighted perfectly for little hands.This 14 piece set is a great starter-set. I bought these for my nephews to see if they would play with them. My nephews need some encouragement to be creative and with the aid of the Tegu wheel set my oldest nephew (who’s 4) absolutely loved them! The adults played with them just as much as the kids did.The one thing to note is that the long, rectangular blocks do not have any magnets on the long sides, only on square end. This makes some construction ideas void.The magnets themselves are great. They are just strong enough to stay firmly in place, but not too weak as to fall apart. They don’t snap in place with force which is a great feature to avoid pinched fingers!If you’re looking for some educational, fun and beautiful toys for kids (or adults) then consider these!

Beautiful and minimalist
I am in love with these blocks!I bought them for my daughter who is 1 hoping they could be something she can enjoy for years to come. I’m so glad i went with these and not legos. They are just so much more athstetically pleasing.They are expensive but i actually don’t mind paying more because this company is amazing! They plant 100 trees for every one the cut.One word of caution though. If you have a dog be sure to keep them out of its reach as they can easily chew them up and expose the embedded magnets putting them and your child in danger. I made this mistake but fortunately the company were quick to respond and even sent me replacement free of charge.

Not new!
I bought this as a present, but it is noticeable that package was opened. Everything else is in good condition

***Zur Firma und zur Philosopie**Wir haben uns für die Bausteine von Tegu entschieden da sie nachhaltig in Honduras produziert werden. Auf jeden verarbeiteten Baum werden 33 neue Bäume gepflanzt.Durch enge Partnerschaften zu den örtlichen Schulen möchte Tegu es schaffen den Weg zur Bildung zu vereinfachen.***Zu den Bausteinen***Die Bausteine sind magnetisch und fallen dadurch nicht sofort um. Unsere 2 jährige Tochter ist hellauf begeistert und hat schon die wildesten Sachen gebaut. Da sie so interessiert an den Steinen ist werden wir sicher auch noch ein gröÃeres Set kaufen.In der Farbe Blossom sind schöne Pastelltöne enthalten die Schadstofffrei auf Wasserbasis aufgetragen wurden, das Holz ist abgerundet und ohne Kanten.Tolles Produkt und tolles Start UPIch würde mich über ein “Hilfreich” sehr freuen wenn Sie mit der Rezension zufreiden sind.Vielen Dank…

Nicht gerade günstig, aber hochwertige Bausteine mit denen gern gespielt wird!

Ein tolles Produkt! Gedacht für meine Kleinste Tochter mit einen Jahr und auch meine gröÃere mit 4 spielen sehr gerne damit! Positiv ist die Lackierung! Kein Gewicht obwohl Holz und magnetisch! Unbedenklich wenn man es in den Mund nimmt (gerade bei Kleinkinder) und jede Menge Figuren die dort aus diesen Set hervorkommen

Enjoyed by 8 months old baby all the way up to 13 year old step son. 3 year old has really got the hang of the magnets now, 8 mo is fascinated by the blocks sticking together and pulling apart, 13 yo and 9 yo can build some really cool imaginative stuff. Really good investment, will be played with and added to for years to come. Only downside is that the paint can rub off on the corners of the blocks so if you think this would be an issue I’d go for a natural set. Personally it makes them feel loved to me and doesn’t bother me at all. Also great eco credentials (check out Tegu’s back story).

Wow! Me and the dad play with it just as much as our one year old who keeps on putting the magnets everywhere in the house possible. Great quality, beautifully made, pretty colours (went for JUNGLE) and made with love and attention. Recommended!
