Build tall and big creations with the 24 piece Tegu set. Includes: 4 medium columns, 4 mega planks, 6 long planks, 4 short planks, 4 cubes and 2 parallelograms – in bright rainbow tints. Powerful magnets help create unthinkable models!

From dinosaurs to robots, mini scenes featuring Tegu’s charming character Click, rockets, birds and countless more, Tegu magnetic blocks encourage children to investigate, design, experiment, become curious about their surroundings and how things work – all through play! Grown ups and children alike are unable to resist the satisfying click and clack as 2 magnetic blocks come together and start to create a new model. Don’t forget to use the repelling force of 2 magnets to make the blocks chase after each other!

A brilliant set for fine motor skills, the Tegu magnetic block is based on a 30mmx30mm dimension: the perfect size for little hands. The range of shapes in this 24 piece pack is also a great way for toddlers to discover different shapes.

Older children will soon find themselves discovering a world filled with scale, problem solving, and even fractions, as they learn how to make the models in their imagination become real. Story-telling and role play come to life by using the Tegu blocks to set up a variety of scenes, building houses, cars, stables and more.

A wonderful Montessori toy, great for home educators to help children discover and love maths, physics and fractions, problem-solving through play.

The tints set features bright shades of green, yellow, orange and pink, and is manufactured in the independent toy factory in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Non-toxic water-based lacquers have been used to allow the natural wood grain to be visible, reminding us of the tactile and smooth quality of natural hard wood.
