My son and I would build a pirate ship, a garage for his toy trucks, or whatever he’s in the mood for.

I would give the Tegu set to my best friend’s 2,5 yr old son, Leo! He would probably make a musical instrument – he has been loving his dad’s piano, and drums, and even a little wooden flute. He also loves natural materials – he has a wooden toys, but none of them are cool enough to stick together!
I’d try building a race track because my little girl loves playing with cars.

These are cool. We’d be building some action figures, Superman, Batman. Maybe even some dinosaurs.
I would build a bridge, because with Tegu it would be easy! I don’t need an engineering degree for that. I wish it could span the Pacific so it would be easier to visit friends and family!
Ha! I would build Magneto!!!

I would build a nice little fort or something so I can place my boyfriends lego men/ and/or action figures in it.He’s a collector so…I think it would be cute.
My niece and I would build a picture frame for her artwork.
What would we build with Tegu magnetic blocks? My kids would take them and start building and while they are building ideas change … there would be space ships and fairy homes, stars and towers, doll house furniture and marble runways … endless opportunity
My son and I would build entire cities with these blocks. He would also make solar-powered cars, he loves alternative energy.
I’d love to use Tegu blocks to introduce my two small kids to architecture & design!
I think a flock of magnetic birds, if I could figure it out!
i would build the eiffel tower
The kids at my daycare center would build all sorts of forts, castles, and cars with these!
I would build a tall tower for my little one to knock down!
I can already picture my son building something to destroy with his angry birds!
My son loves to get help building houses for all his toy animals. These would be perfect for the job!
I would definitely build a train for my daughter for her Gabba dolls to ride, she’s always looking for things for them to ride!
If I know my son he would build a tow truck towing a car!
My kids would build runs they are future engineers!!
They are so great I would probably not be able to build just one thing!!!
I would totally build a doll house!!! I’d also love to have them in my classroom for my students to explore!!!

I’d build so many things with my kids! mostly towers though

My son & I would build a space castle for our plasticine alien creatures!!!

It doesn’t matter what I build, my 8 month old will destroy it! This is why we can’t have anything nice!
What would I build? Whatever I wanted, lol!! The absolutely incredible advantage of Tegu is that one is only limited by one’s imagination! I suspect my daughter and I could therefore invent a million amazing creations (although, I have to admit that I am partial to animal abstracts)!
I would build buildings and bridges…and many more!
We would build a large castle for mario to defeat bowser in.
I would make buildings with Carter…a bowling alley that he could roll his little balls down a pretend little bowling lane! He is in LOVE with bowling! Too bad he is too little for those big bowling balls…but soon!!!
I will use them to bond with and teach my future children
I asked my 3 year old and he says “a giant potatoe that can transform into anything” so that’s what we would build first at least
I would build airplanes with my daughter
My two boys build all things castles. It would be so great to do it with these wooden blocks rather than legos!
I would make a volcano out of it. Somehow someway!
