TeguMagnetic Wooden Block Set, Multi-Colour, 42 Piece

I so wanted to love these, but I just didn’t! I agonised for ages over spending more than £2 per building block, and was desperate to be delighted by them and for them to become an heirloom toy that my kids would pass down onto their own. We ordered them for my sons Christmas, eagerly I got them out for a play before wrapping, and I’m glad I did. Even as an adult I found their biggest plus, the magnetism, to be their biggest negative. It’s a good strength, but it’s endlessly frustrating trying to build something to find yourself fighting against the polarity, or for the blocks not to be magnetised where you need to make a join. I really wanted to adore them, but I just didn’t. If I’d spent about £30 on them then I’d have kept them, but I just couldn’t justify the £90 for the amount of fun they’d provide. It’s admirable that they’re ethically sourced and fairly produced, but just not a hit in this house. Returned in favour of the Kidkraft Pirate Cove, which has gone down a storm!

Five year ago I bought this product in a small set and was very impressed with it. And now I decided to buy a bigger set, I bought it the first time and had to return it because the product was in a poor condition with broken wood pieces and lots of dirt and stain. Then I purchased it again, hoping it would be better, nope it isn't better. This is worse than a used product, the one I bought five years ago doesn't even turn into this condition! The wood cracked and there is this dirt/stain on the spots where the magnets are, I don't know why! This is probably from a very old stock. If the product is a clearance they should have said so! And the product isn't cheap, it's expensive! I didn't pay for this! So terrible!

Expensive but already been played with constantly. Adults love them too, anything that makes adults want to sit and play with their kids is a good toy. We make pictures on the radiators with them. They are very well finished. If you lookon ebay they have an amazing resale value so keep the box.

Lovely quality bricks, quite pricey though would have liked more for the money but they are great and the magnets are strong

I was so happy with the fast delivery of the Tegu magnetic wooden block set, It was purchased as a Birthday present for my 2 year old Granddaughter, who is now enjoying endless hours of educational fun from it.
