Ahhs: Tegu Blocks

classic wooden blocks are beautiful, but there is only so much stacking and knocking down you can do. that's where tegu comes in...tegu makes these gorgeous wood blocks sets from sustainable wood that is harvested in honduras. the catch? magnets! the blocks cleverly have magnets inside, so your little one can stack, connect and create to his little heart's content! 

i especially like tegu because it's a solution for those moms out there (including myself) who are torn between beautiful wooden toys, and more interactive--and potentially toxic-- plastic ones. 

the round-edged blocks are perfect for small hands and they come in sets ranging from the discovery set ($50) of 26 blonde wood blocks, to the deluxe mahogany set ($125) of 52 blocks. 

tegu is generously offering coos & ahhs readers free shipping on all orders in the continental US. use code: TEGUTOYCOOS, valid until June 30, 2010.
