Magnetic Blocks Car

What's the big attraction about building a dream car? In the case of Tegu blocks, it's all in the magnetic pull. Click on the wheels and construct the ten blocks into a car that can race—and crash! Then reassemble it.

These sustainably sourced, eco-friendly magnetic wood blocks are named after the Honduran capitol of Tegucigalpa, commonly known as Tegus. In an effort to preserve rain forests in that country, each tree used in Tegu products is selected by local Honduran tree cooperatives and for every one tree used, the company replants 100 saplings. Magnets are safely embedded in each block, and every block is finished in a water-based lacquer that is non-toxic, non-lead and non-plastic.

New England-based brothers Chris and Will Haughey launched Tegu Toyworks in 2009 to create playthings that are good for children and for the environment. The critically acclaimed line has won Parents Magazine Choice Silver Honor, Dr. Toy Winner - Best Green Product and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal - Best Toy Award, among other accolades.
