Wonderful, Portable Distraction for Toddler

Who knew that six pieces of wood could be so entertaining...? Bought this for a plane trip to entertain my one year old. The magnets prevented him from dropping/throwing them as often as he did the non-magnetic objects. (Tip: giving him two of these was just as entertaining as giving him all six.) Definitely going to purchase more as he grows older. We now carry them in the diaper bag/purse at all times - perfectly sized. Note unrelated to product- we definitely received a used product (had a piece of tape and some pencil scribbles on a couple of the pieces). We kept it because plane trip was next day, but a little disappointing. Not at all a reflection of the product itself, though.

Love Love Love these

Love Love Love these... Great for my Kiddos when Traveling or Even at a Restaurant. You can download a guide for more "Shapes" to be made out of them which is handy. My kiddos really like them -boys aged 4 and 6. I am always hiding them so we don't loose any pieces because they want to play with them at home. Which sounds awful, but come on Mom's - when you find something that works at a Restaurant you want to hold onto it - Right?!

Amazing for travel!

We have a few of these sets and they are so great for travel or to bring to restaurants. They allow my daughter to be creative and the fact that the are magnetic means I'm not having to constantly pick up blocks that she is dropping! Tegu blocks are so well made... I want them all!

... to bring a toy with him and he gets bored. They fit in my purse and are light ...

Bought these for my 4 year old son for those times he forgets to bring a toy with him and he gets bored. They fit in my purse and are light weight enough that I do not feel like I'm hefting a bunch of wooden blocks around. The magnets are strong enough to actually hold the pieces together. I like that they have a soft case to fit them into. My son really likes them and asks to play with them every time we get into the car. I asked him what he likes about these blocks and he said it was their magnets (he plans to stick them to the refrigerator).

Best Blocks

Tegu blocks are expensive but worth every penny. I initially considered them but made a mistake of not purchasing them because they seemed too pricey. But we were lucky to get a basic set as a gift for my son's 2nd b-day. After realizing that they are worth their price, I purchased colored pocket sets and wheels to add to his basic set. At first, they were challenging, but now that he got the hang of it they are his favorite blocks. Days would go by without him playing with his legos or other blocks, but he plays his Tegu blocks every day. Even though he has a train set, he prefers making his own tracks and trains from Tegu blocks. We make cars, buildings, bridges, tunnels, birds, doggies, etc. These blocks truly provide endless possibilities and open a whole new world of imagination. This is definitely my son's and my favorite toy.

A must have for active moms!

I adore this toy set! I take two with me everywhere. One set for my son and one for my daughter. When we go to a restaurant or really anywhere that I need my kids to sit quietly I pull these out. I love that they come with a storage bag so they are not rolling around and getting lost inside my purse. This toy has saved the day many times! HIGHLY recommend! The only con I can think of is that my 2 year old gets frustrated when the magnets are going against each other and won't fit they way he would like them too.

Great practice for working on his coordination and stacking skills

My 14month old loves playing with these (while being supervised...he still puts everything in his mouth). He's too young to build anything yet but he loves the magnets inside the blocks. He thinks he's doing something big when they stick together but yet he can still pull them apart. Great practice for working on his coordination and stacking skills.

Has saved us so many times!

Bought two - one for a car and one for his baby bag. I read about this product on a baby blog, and I've loved it for many months now. Thanks to this toy, we've made it through long 1+ hrs waits at the dr., the airport, and even at a funeral (though they're kinda loud, so I don't recommend this be your intended use for them), etc. with our now 20 month old. We've had them about 7 months now, and he loves it. I've read that older kids love it too, because they can start building specific shapes instead of just clicking the magnetic blocks together. I could be a sales rep for this company with how many people I've helped purchase this in the past 6 months! We've let other kids play with them, and it's helped pass the time while waiting. One major suggestion is to make sure you have 6 pieces every time you finish playing with them (like the dr's ready to see you now), so you're scrambling to make sure you have your 6 pieces, and actually put them back together in order right then and there. Otherwise you'll be searching your bag to make sure you had 6 pieces later. So far we haven't lost one, but hubs doesn't always put it back together, and it's a real pain to go searching for tiny pieces, so I put it back together each time and in the bag before we leave. Doesn't take long, but it'll briefly work your brain too! :)

Road trips and restaurants!

Great to keep in mom's purse, dad's cargo pocket or the glove box! Super portable and good for airplanes or other travel, or as a more engaging alternative to the restaurant provided crayons. Safe enough for tinies to mess with, cool enough even for older kids to tinker with. We have a bigger set for home, and love to give these as gifts.

Great toy for a trip in the car or airplane - great color selection!

My two-year-old really enjoys playing with this. It was a great toy to bring on an airplane as the parts didn't fall down as easily as e.g. Legos. It seems that my toddler is the most fascinated with the simplest toys: she will put this together and take it apart for 20 minutes straight, she loves the fact that everything is magnetic. I love that this toy is all wood (apart from the magnets inside) and challenges my daughter's imagination. I am sure this will stay with us for many years and out-live most of her other toys. It is a safe toy that I would recommend buying. However, I wish it was a bit more affordable.
