Product Description

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 sustainably sourced 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. This set includes 42 blocks in nine shapes: 4 Tall Columns, 4 Medium Columns, 6 Short Planks, 6 Long Planks, 6 Mega Planks, 6 Cubes, 2 Parallelograms, 4 Short Angles and 4 Wheels.

Our story


How we got our start
When Chris and Will Haughey started Tegu, they asked: “Could we create a for-profit company that would foster a positive social impact in Honduras through its business?” That was where it all began, and today, we’ve established our fully independent toy factory outside Tegucigalpa.
What makes our product unique
We like to say it’s a new twist on an old classic. We’ve carefully hidden magnets inside traditional wooden building blocks all while creating a visually beautiful toy—one that would fit well in your playroom, coffee table, or office desk.
Why we love what we do
Honduras is the 3rd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and has one of the highest unemployment rates. We are in Honduras to change this story; we believe the power of job creation and awakening the joy of service will one day allow us to be the ‘employer of choice’ in the country and region.

    My 2 1/2 year-old loves it
    I chose to buy these over the magnetic building pieces because I had seen a lot of people complaining that the magnets were coming out of them when they were thrown so this was a way safer alternative for my child. my 2 1/2 year-old is a huge thrower when it comes to toys so most toys don’t last more than a week in our house without being broken or dying but these have held up wonderfully with a magnet inside I don’t have to worry about a choking hazard

    These are awesome!
    They are beautiful, and fun for the whole family; our one year old, our 3 year old, my husband, and me.
    They are a bit challenging, and my son often still asks for help with how to position them. (because of the magnet polarity and the fact that not all sides have magnets.)
    Overall they are great though! I like the STEM appeal of the fact that not all sides stick together. It teaches about magnets at a young age.
    Only down sides I have found are that the paint does chip over a long period of time, and you need quite a few of them to build big things. We don't complain though, especially for our kids ages they are perfect!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Stick to the small sets for young toddlers
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019
    These are nice magnetic blocks; I originally purchased the travel pouch back at Christmas time & my 1 year old loved them.. so I bought this 42 pc set, but not realizing the magnets only work in certain spots (the long square blocks only have magnets at the ends). Still fun to play with but much more difficult for my 1.5 year old to figure out than just the smaller pieces in the travel pouch. I could see her getting frustrated when certain ones wouldn’t connect. If you find a good deal on them it’s worth the purchase, but I think anyone under 3 should stick to the travel kits that Tegu offers until they’re able to really understand how to connect to build something with the larger ones.

    Tegu sono mattoncini in legno magnetici meravigliosi. Li conoscevo già, li adoro. Ho preso una confezione Amazon warehouse dichiarata come nuovo - ottime condizioni, invece è decisamente vissuta. Colori sbeccati, magneti che non si allineano come dovrebbero.. un po’ delusa, era da dichiarare al massimo un “buon” usato, comunque soddisfatta
