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 24 blocks in six shapes: 4 Medium Columns, 4 Short Planks, 6 Long Planks, 4 Mega Planks, 4 Cubes and 2 Parallelograms.
From the brand
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.From the manufacturer

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
At first I hesitated to spend this much money for a set of blocks, but you know what they say about grandparents spoiling the grandchildren. She loves blocks of all kinds, and I thought the idea of the magnets sounded pretty neat.
When I opened the shipping package, I was a little taken aback that I had spent this much money for such a small item. The blocks are in a solid box that is approximately 6x6x4.
But it's when the girl opened the box that the fun began. First of all, the blocks are lovely. They are beautifully finished in pastel colors. The finish is as smooth as a fine piece of furniture, and they click and slide easily. They attract each other, they repel each other, they can build fantastical objects or mundane objects. They can be tightly linked together to form solids, or they can be linked in other ways to make bridges, cages for little animals, and much more.
Some of the best features:
- A lovely "idea" booklet is included.
- The magnets are so deeply embedded in the blocks that both my son and I spent time wondering "How do they do that?"
- Toddlers love blocks, and they also love to knock block structures down; these blocks do not stray far from their brothers, so lost blocks may be a thing of the past.
- The packaging is simple, but sturdy - very understated, rather than showy.
- As an added plus, the company is devoted to sustainable business practices and the blocks are made in Honduras, where the employees are paid working wages, and much of the profit goes to reforestation (I may be overstating, but you get the idea).
- The blocks will not get old; I envision adding to her set for many years to come.
My advice: do not let the apparently dear price dissuade you; these blocks are worth every penny.
The problem with the Tegu blocks is that the magnets are only in the ends, which is just fine when they're smaller blocks. However, the longer blocks are limited with what they can build or be added upon because, again, the magnets are only in the ends--so no stacking of blocks can be done mid-length along the longer pieces. I would still recommend these blocks, but only on sale--even then, these are quite pricey. I'll add that these are exceptional on the airplane, carried along in the Tegu felt tote--which has room for this set plus a 30+ set of Magna Tiles.
