    I am truly impressed with Tegu and the way they ethically create their wooden gems. I feel so ecstatic knowing I am purchasing toys made with the brilliance of respect for all beings: “Tegu treats all its people – from the toy maker in Honduras to the marketing guys in the USA -with respect and dignity. We believe in the intrinsic value of each human life, and we strive for our approach to fully reflect that belief.” And, my favorite set is Dart. Love, love, love this magical set! : ) Thanks so very much for this truly generous give~away! : )
