Tegu Magnetic Wooden Blocks Ready for Summer Adventures

Summer adventures with your favorite wooden blocks

There is so much to love about summertime. For one, it feels like adventures abound everywhere you turn. From family vacations and overnight camp, to trips to the zoo and the beach and your local ice cream shop! And then there are the adventures you have without even leaving home, afternoons spent in a treehouse or pillow fort, building castles and reading about faraway lands.

Tegu Magnetic Wooden Blocks Ready for Summer Adventures

Whatever type of adventure you plan on having, Tegu Magnetic Wooden Blocks are perfect to bring along. Here at Tegu we are passionate about creativity and imagination. We think summer is a great time to create and to learn and to wonder about the world around us.

Between now and Memorial Day, use code SUMMERTRAVELS to get a free Travel Tote and a free Pocket Pouch Mahogany when you spend over $100! Offer valid through May 27, 2013.

And because adventures are even more fun when the experience is shared, show us what you build. Tell us where you bring your Tegu Blocks! Post a picture on our Facebook wall or tag us @TeguToys on Instagram. Upload photos to the Tegu Gallery for a chance to win our Monthly Building Contests.

Giftable for all. Moms, graduates, teachers. The Tegu Pocket Pouch Prism.

These magnetic wooden blocks are not just for kids! Great gifts for all.

Giftable for all. Moms, graduates, teachers. The Tegu Pocket Pouch Prism. School’s (almost) out! Celebrate with Tegu. The Pocket Pouches from Tegu are great gifts for all ages!

Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10, and tell the teacher in your child’s life how much you appreciate his or her hard work in the classroom this year. Do you remember the teacher who made math ‘click’ for you? Or physics? Or spelling? Teachers provide an amazing foundation and the building blocks for kids to grow.

Celebrate Mother’s Day, May 12, and tell your mom how much you love her. She holds your family together with that magnetic force called love.

Celebrate the graduate. From preschool to grad-school, graduation is more a beginning than an end. We want to say, keep learning, dreaming, creating and growing. We hope no matter how old you get, that you will always stay a kid at heart.

So give Tegu to celebrate and say thank you. Get a free Pocket Pouch Prism Nelson when you spend $30 on Tegu.com through May 6, 2013. Buy one for your mom and get one for your teacher. Or buy one for your favorite graduate and keep one for yourself!

Did you know Tegu Blocks make really fun desk toys? It’s true! The most beautifully designed paperweight in the office will attract more than just paperclips. These magnetic wooden toys will get creativity flowing and help you avoid any mental-blocks!

Your beautiful wooden Tegu Blocks will also look right at home on a coffee table, functioning as a conversation piece or fun game. In recent New York Times article “Building Blocks,” architect Michael Arad mentioned Tegu Blocks as blocks that “tend to be more aesthetically appealing, so the adults at home don’t mind if the blocks are left out for days on end.”

We're TOTES excited that the Travel Tote is back!

When kids want to bring their favorite blocks along…

We are TOTE-ally excited to announce that the Travel Tote is back! Our Tote was an immediate favorite when we first introduced it in 2010. But as our magnetic building block system grew, the Travel Tote needed to as well.

So we redesigned our Tote. Of course it is still beautifully made with industrial strength felt to protect your premium wooden blocks wherever they go, but now it’s large enough to fit even our Explorer Set inside!

We're TOTES excited that the Travel Tote is back!

With the weather is getting warmer, we are thinking of weekend getaways and summer vacations ahead. And what makes a fun trip even more fun? Bringing your favorite wooden blocks along of course! Just as the building options with Tegu Blocks are endless, now the places to bring them are as well. Trips can be as short as the playroom shelf to the kitchen table, or as long as flights to grandma’s house. We want to see the places you bring your Tegu Blocks!

Buy your Travel Tote now and get 20% off your whole order! Offer valid through April 15, 2013.

Reaching New Heights With Tegu Block

These Building Blocks Keep Going Taller

If you stacked all the Tegu Blocks sold in 2012 magnet to magnet…would you have guessed it was over 110,000 feet? Wow! That is a lot of Tegu Blocks! Thanks to each of you that helped us reach that height.

Speaking of tall, did you know our Explorer Set can build taller towers than any of our other sets? Tegu Blocks allow towers and creations to reach new heights because of the magnets inside each block, but with the tall columns that only come in the Explorer Set, scale comes faster!

To celebrate today, get a free Pocket Pouch Mahogany with purchase of any Explorer Set!

Use code: TALLERTOWERS

Valid March 18, 2013 on http://www.tegu.com/blocks

Trees Planted with Tegu

Planting Trees with Tegu Wooden Blocks

Being green is not just for St Patricks Day! At Tegu, we take it seriously all year-round. Not only do we carefully select each tree we harvest, but we have partnered with Trees for the Future to replant as well. In 2012, for every 1 tree removed, we planted 983 new trees! And since our partnership with Trees for the Future began, we have planted over 100,000 trees!

Look on your Tegu box to see how many trees planted your block set represents. And if you want to do more, just visit the Donate section of our website. There you can plant 3 Dozen trees for just $5!
