![]() ![]() ![]() Tegu has made strong efforts to be transparent in their charitable efforts, and for every toy purchased customers choose between two of Tegu’s charitable initiatives: planting 12 trees or paying for a day of school for a Honduran child who would otherwise be working at the city dump. Tegu blocks range in cost between $2.30-$4 per block, while my other (non-magnetized) wooden blocks ranged between $0.20-$1.16 each. Not only are they a premium toy product, but they are a company that supports charity initiatives, so the blocks reflect that in their pricing. They allow children to understand the forces of polarity (as the magnet ends must be matched up properly in order to stick together), and build as they would with normal blocks, but also build in ways that defy gravity, allowing children to use their imaginations to create anything that modern architecture could allow.Īlthough I think that wooden blocks are always a worthwhile investment, I will say that Tegu blocks are expensive. Tegu are simply magnetized wooden blocks, but they offer so much in terms of building potential and STEM learning. All of the children at Child’s Garden Montessori love them, and they have proven to be a great investment. We’re gearing up for a big unit study on blocks and building, so I wanted to share with you some of our favourite blocks and building materials so that you can begin to consider a building corner of your own.Ī big set of Tegu blocks was our “big” Christmas gift last year, and easily the gift that I was most excited to order for Ella. ![]()
