TEGU: THE BEST BLOCKS AROUND

It’s easy to understand why Tegu’s magnetic wooden blocks made our Top 10 Best Gifts for Kids this holiday. With their soft rounded corners and smooth finish, it’s hard to keep your hands off these little gems. Made from sustainably harvested solid wood (= meant to last), these blocks have little magnets hidden inside, which makes them less likely to tumble after all that time spent making that building really, really tall! There are four different shapes: a cube, a rectangle, and short and long flattened planks.

The blocks are harvested and manufactured in Honduras, an entrepreneurial effort to stimulate the local economy. And for every tree they cut down, they plant well over 100 to replace it.

Perfect for kids 3-99. This is definitely a gift you’ll feel good giving!
