Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to plastic magnetic tiles or standard unmagnetized wooden blocks, Tegu offers a unique tactile resistance and snap. While plastic sets are cheaper, Tegu blocks provide an organic feel and superior ethical pedigree, as they are manufactured in a company-owned factory in Honduras that provides living wages to all employees.

What to know before buying

1. Blocks have specific magnetic poles; if two blocks don't stick, simply flip or rotate one of them.
2. The set contains 4 different shapes: columns, planks, cubes, and triangles.
3. These blocks are naturally anti-microbial due to the hardwood but should be kept dry.
4. Variations in wood grain and color are normal and reflect the natural materials used.
5. Tegu is fully compatible with all other sizes and shapes within the brand's ecosystem.
