Using these Tegu magnetic wooden blocks is super easy. Just start by taking out the pieces and let your imagination run wild. You can stack the cubes on top of columns, connect the planks, and use the parallelograms to create unique angles. The magnetic feature makes it simple to build and hold structures together. For little ones aged 12+ months, parents can guide them to start with basic shapes. When it comes to maintenance, keep the blocks away from water to prevent damage to the non - toxic water - based lacquer. If they get dirty, you can use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe them clean. Store the blocks in a dry place to ensure they last for generations. Also, always supervise young children to avoid any choking hazards as the pieces are small.
