To celebrate this holiday season, The Toy Wall is helping Playground Dads everywhere find the coolest toys for their families in this 12 Days of Christmas Toys series!
In this digital age of touch screens and tablets where kids play by swiping a screen, should we be concerned about the impact this trend is having on our kid’s creative development? Luckily, the folks at TEGU, founders of the first magnetic building block system, are at the forefront of reinventing classic imaginative play without the need of electronic gadgetry or instruction manuals.
Their recently released TEGU Mobility line enables you to take any wood block creation and unleash them in vehicle form! Choose from a set of 4 colorful vehicles (Maddy, Riley, Dart, Hatch) that feature varying shapes which you can further customize with any existing TEGU blocks. Assemble anything you want with the gravity defying magnetic blocks…from simple and sporty to more futuristic and space age. Snap on the high-quality rubber wheels that effortlessly click onto your personally crafted roadster and send it zooming across the floor!
However, it’s when your vehicle crashes is when this TEGU product flexes its magical muscle. Any hard collision will jar the magnetized blocks and cause your car to reshape without separating, often into a more streamlined vehicle that looks cooler than you could have imagined on your own! Continual interaction (and ferocious crashes) will lead to many more inspired designs as you tweak and manipulate your mobile creation.
If you’re still stumped for a toy to get this holiday season, look no further. I’m fully impressed with this new edition to the TEGU family, which will undoubtedly expand your child’s imaginative boundaries. Fully compatible with existing systems, the mobile addition to the award-winning TEGU line instantly takes low-tech building play into full-blown active play…and is definitely more fun than swiping!
