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 14 blocks in five shapes: 2 Medium Columns, 4 Short Planks, 4 Long Planks, 2 Cubes and 2 Parallelograms.

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

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.
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!
