I would use them to play a game of “pictionary”, make people guess what I’m building

i would make a squirrel and then post it on my blog, daily squirrel!

----- rachel 24.11.10 21:54

Well, the jungle name would inspire me to attempt to make a monkey and jungle tree habitat. If it ended up looking more like an anteater though, it would still make me happy. Thanks for the lovely giveaway and wonderful website!

----- Tanya M. 24.11.10 21:44

I would loooove to use these to build some amazing dimensional typographic forms

For my son, I would use the green Tegu pieces to make a green sheep as that is his favourite book…with leftover pieces I would see how many of the other sheep I could build (thin sheep, wide sheep, swing sheep, slide sheep….)…or maybe a shearing shed to see if the green sheep is actually green underneath!

----- Campbell 24.11.10 20:38

Wouldn’t it be great if I could build a scaled replica of myself? I’d have to dye my hair green though to suit the color scheme. Mine is currently dark. Finally, I’d have an imaginary friend even others can get to know. Ahhh… Relieving childhood memories. Oh and the best part is, knock on wood, my mini-replica can be a good luck charm! Wheeee… Hello to the cuter and luckier Tegu Me!

----- Gary 24.11.10 20:36

I would try to build a palm tree and a sailboat.

----- almost albertan 24.11.10 20:09

Being a grandmother of 3 with many more on the way there is an infinite amount of things I could build. I would start with a train station with trains since that is the most exciting thing for my grand kids now.

----- Maeve Starkey 24.11.10 19:59

i would build whatever my nephew and niece first wanted, since they would be the real recipients of the gift.

being that they are 4 and 3, respectively, and a bit less creative, i would build them an octopus and tell them a story about a wild octopus that found his way into a jungle and swung from branch to branch until all his eight legs fell off, one by one. then he’d just be a regular pus, and i would turn that into a cat. a jungle cat, naturally.

maybe by then, they could think of something. i think my niece might pick up on the cat part and ask for hello kitty, a true challenge.

----- jacob r starkey 24.11.10 19:53

An elephant!

----- Joe Wasserman 24.11.10 19:49

----- Larry 24.11.10 18:38

As a dad I would be forced to sculpt two racecars, one for my son and the other for me. Both cars would be level in terms of speed, but I would equip one with rotator blades allowing for flight and the other with lasers. This way it becomes a game of chase ~ which would drive his mom nuts.
Happy Holidays…

An octopus. Most definitely.

I’d build a rocket to take me to the moon. Maybe if I got together with the other winner and combined our sets, the rocket would be big enough.

----- Jen 24.11.10 13:48

These would be awesome in my classroom. Finding different objects and animals to create would be fun but just the process of play would be the best to help them create their own problem solving skills!

----- Anna 24.11.10 13:45

I would build a dinousaur. I bet these blocks sound so cool when you play with them. And they look like they would feel awesome in your hands!

----- Gladys 24.11.10 13:23

So lovely!

----- Molly Quaid 24.11.10 13:23

a Parachuting Llama! to make me laugh.

----- nikki 24.11.10 13:19

I would use these to rapidly prototype product ideas - and then tear it all down and play with my young nieces and nephews. Most of their toys are of the branded, built-in story type…I’d love to see what they could come up with on their own with Tegu!

----- Vashte 24.11.10 13:18

----- Roberta 24.11.10 12:41

A pen holder would be amazing! But I’d build a tree. Don’t know why the the lovely green and brown wood would look amazing put into a tree form. I’d attempt to use all block an possibly make a small forest. Could use the branches to hold small photos off.

----- Peter W 24.11.10 12:40

I’d make the king of the swingers! :D

----- Steve 24.11.10 12:39

I would build a safari car and animals. Elephants and giraffes are pretty awesome to play with.

----- Amanda 24.11.10 12:39

These blocks were made to be configured into the always classy always stylish 1990 Honda CRX - then i would put it as the center piece of my table since i just moved in and there is nothing in my apartment. CRX on the table, and one in the carport

----- dakota 24.11.10 12:34

Trojan horse. What’s inside? Army men or my room mate’s cell phone.

----- Dante 24.11.10 12:33

Fallingwater, noduh.

----- Jordan 24.11.10 12:32

That turkey is so cute! A bird, definitely.

----- Juila 24.11.10 12:29

I’d try to make an exotic looking bird! haha

Would love to build with Tegu blocks with my granddaughter!

----- Karen W. 24.11.10 11:47

These are like lincoln logs from the future! In a throw back to my former lego/tinkertoy/anyBuildingToy younger self, I would build a spaceship with these. Too cool!

----- Tony S 24.11.10 11:43

Oh man, I can’t stop watching Tegu LIVE now. That Jungle version of Falling Water is amazing. I think the first thing I’d do is make whatever the Tegu Genius asks ME to make. Let him take a break for a bit!

----- Jeremy Stern 24.11.10 11:42

I am obsessed with these blocks, been wanting them for my 1 year old we will def be building race cars and robots and back hoes vrroommmmm!

----- Liza 24.11.10 11:34

My son said he would build a house!

----- Ashley Larish 24.11.10 11:30

I’d for sure build a Tegu Liger. If I had enough Tegu left, maybe build a Napolean Dynamite next to his pet Liger, petting him.

RAWRRRR :)

----- Joe Miragliotta 24.11.10 11:27

oh boy. The possiblities are endless. I own a lawn care company, so probably a lawn mower!

Love Tegu AND their turkey. I would build a crazy tower (a la Vasco Mourao) as high as I can go without making the whole thing fall over.

----- Anna | Sub-Studio 24.11.10 11:05

I would experiment forms to create spaces as i’m a student majoring in interior architecture. by merely a block we create space. with blocks. more spaces are created hence sketches come easy and ideas come flowing. by playing we learn. by experimenting we create.

----- KentNgiam 24.11.10 11:04

A pterodactyl!!

----- Mark 24.11.10 11:04

A giraffe. My son loves them!!

----- Rochelle 24.11.10 11:02

Sooooo, what a fantastic set to play with at the beach house :). Perhaps the 1st thing i’d build would be a little wooden family with a mom, dad, baby…and our little surprise. What a fun way to break the news ey?

----- Rachel 24.11.10 11:01

I’ll build a replica of my Eichler mid-century house!

----- edgar 24.11.10 11:01

To go along with the jungle theme, I’d love to make some jungle animals. A Tegu Ape could be very cool.

These blocks are an awesome idea.
The guy who is the master builder had the coolest job.
