A silly robot made from the Tegu blocks. The unused planks are from the same sets.
Tegu Robot
Category: Tegu – wooden cubes and planks with magnets (Honduras)
Tegu is a brand of building kits from Honduras that offers a delightful and engaging play experience. These kits feature wooden blocks and tiles with embedded magnets. The blocks come in basic shapes and may include accessories like wheels. The unique feature of Tegu is that the blocks can be freely assembled in any direction, allowing children to create a wide range of structures, such as houses, vehicles, and animals.
Apart from sparking creativity and providing entertainment, Tegu also helps develop fine motor skills. One of the notable advantages of this toy is its safety for children, as there are no small parts or details that could pose a risk. Parents and caregivers can have peace of mind knowing that Tegu offers a secure and enjoyable playtime option for little ones.
Another Tegu Pocket Pouch Shape
“Pocket” Tegu sets are small, but you still can create many things from any of them.
Tegu Pocket Pouch
These Tegu sets are the smallest of them all. They have only 6 or 8 pieces each, so you can carry them in your pocket while, say, travelling with your child. Despite the small size, you can still build many different shapes from each of these sets.
Tegu Jungle – Cubes and Planks in the Colors of the Jungle
Tegu kits are made in Honduras – a poor country that American brothers Will and Chris Haughey are trying to help. They even gave the toy a Honduran name. Tegu is short for Tegucigalpa, the country’s capital. Since 2006, when the first blocks of Tegu saw the light of day, part of the money earned has been used to restore the forests of Honduras. Apparently, things are going well, the blocks disperse around the world, forests and jungles are growing. Back at the end of 2010, Tegu released sets in optimistic shades of green, brown and natural colors – the colors of the jungle. Some sets also contain yellow pieces – pieces of Honduras gold.
Shades Of Green In Tegu Jungle
I tried to photograph Tegu pieces to show you the shades of green and natural. Note that natural pieces are also slightly greenish in this set. The green cubes and planks are painted, but the structure of the wood is clearly visible, so not a single piece is the same. The impression of this tree-green variety is pleasant. Probably, the details were first painted over and then glued. Both the planks and the cubes consist of 2 halves, and on some cubes the gluing borders are visible.
Another Pip Version
Another character you can build from the same Tegu Sticky Monsters Set.
Tegu Sticky Monsters – Pip
Sticky Monsters are a series of sets which allow you to build funny characters. They have small number of pieces, but you can still crate all kids of shapes from them. And you always can mix them with any other Tegu sets for more pieces and more complicated characters.
The Owl From Honduras
Made from the Tegu Jungle set. The children decided that such a small tree-green owlet must live somewhere in the tropics between North and South America, basically, where Honduras is located – the birthplace of Tegu cubes. In fact, in Central America there really are owls – so-called neotropical owls. Some of them live in abandoned termite mounds.

Tegu’s Blocks In Pastel Colors
Back in August 2010, Tegu painted its blocks in delicate pink, light green, turquoise, orange and yellow colors. All sets of gentle-colored Tegu:
