    I love that Tegu seems to be getting back to the “older” and “simpler” times with their products. Children are so bombarded with electronic buzzes and whistles, that it’s refreshing to see actual toys. Not to mention the coordination and fine motor development kids will gain playing with these. It’s even reinforcing geometric concepts! Looks like a winner to me!ReplyCancel

    Until now I had not heard of Tegu. after reading your review I find these toys very interesting. It is something that in time my niece would probably love to play with.(she just turned one November 8th). It is a toy that I could see being played with for several years. Well worth investing in some.ReplyCancel

    I love these little wooden toys, they look like they would be fun to play with, a challenge and fun. Thanks for the review I had never heard of these before, but I know 2 little one’s that would shout with joy to have them. It’s nice to see wooden toys, most of the others break and leave the hard sharp plastic exposed. To bad we don’t have wooden cars, maybe there wouldn’t be so much damage if someone hits you.ReplyCancel

  • Emily

    Both of my girls (ages 7 and 18 months) would really enjoy these toys!ReplyCancel

    I like their simple and solid toys for the little ones. Kids can really let their imaginetion run wild.ReplyCancel

    This would be a great addition for my son. He’s always grabbing toys on the way out the door and I have no idea how many we have lost. This would be the perfect way to have a great item to play with that is easy to bring along.ReplyCancel

    This looks like a great little car. I think it looks like a good toy for children to play creatively.ReplyCancel

    I love these. Because they’re real toys, and I think all kids should be playing with more things like this instead of all the electronic toys.ReplyCancel
