    Marbles Gift Wrap

     

    Marbles offers gift wrapping on this brainy product for only $1!
    We haven’t lost our minds, we just know how nice it is to avoid those dull scissors and tape that won’t tear. To add gift wrapping to your order, just select the “yes” button under the “add gift wrap” section.

    There are three things our customers really love: magnets, wood and building toys. And Tegu blocks hit the trifecta with magnetic wooden blocks that click into place. Pronounced “tay-goo,” the name is derived from Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras where the blocks are made. Tegu’s founders wanted to bring a business to Honduras that paid a living wage and offered long-term career growth. They succeeded with both and created a brilliantly simple product to boot. Tegu will spark curiosity, build hand-eye coordination and provide hours of creative free play for young and old alike.

    The Tegu Explorer Set includes 40 blocks in seven shapes: 4 Large Columns, 8 Mega Planks, 8 Long Planks, 4 Medium Columns, 4 Small Trapezoids, 4 Large Trapezoids and 8 Short Planks. Tegu blocks come packaged in a beautifully designed box large and rigid enough to store the blocks for many years to come.

    Note: This video shows the Tegu "Jungle Set" which has fewer pieces and different colors than the Explorer Set - but it still gives you an idea of what Tegu can do! How to Play:

    Draw 10 tiles and set them up in the starting pattern (see printed instructions). Each player puts their four colored jewels on the four spaces of their Home Tile. Each player makes a combination of these three moves per turn:
       1. A Jewel Step - moving a jewel one space onto a vacant space. A jewel may also be jumped over another jewel (similar to checkers).
       2. A Tile Turn - turning a tile a quarter turn. It can be empty or have a jewel on it.
       3. A Tile Shift - moving a tile into an adjacent vacant space.

    How to Win:

    The first player to move all four of their jewels onto the opposite Home Tile wins the game!

    The Marbles BrainCoach says...

    This is no ordinary set of blocks. Tegu is an addictive take on classic building blocks and has endless creative potential.
