You are determined to give Junior the best building blocks for his future.

And, of course, the ones that make the tallest buildings and most impressive forts.

These days we’re stuck on Tegu, the new 52-piece set of magnetic wooden blocks. There’s something magical about constructing the simplest of towers when pieces seem to float together.

Manufactured in Honduras to help stimulate a crumbling economy and use sustainable materials in a region known for deforestation, these are no run-of-the-mill wooden toys. Made from ecofriendly hardwoods that can withstand the test of time (beech, mahogany, huesito), the set is meant to be handed down from brother to sister to cousin.

A great way to show that sharing isn’t a stumbling block.
