Like many categories, the toy industry is comprised of companies big and small. Neither large nor small, we like to think of ourselves as "The Little Engine That Could". Begun as a literal garage start-up 14 years ago, Fat Brain Toys has boldly put itself "in front of the great heavy trains" in the toy industry, finding success by offering quality toys, innovative design, and what many customers have called "shocking" customer service.
Our mission? To demonstrate to the American consumer that there is an "alternate universe" of toys available to them. With the decline of the local independent toy store, toy selection has become dramatically limited to only those products found on the shelves of the local big box retailer (think disposable-character-driven-plastic-violent-battery-operated toys). In contrast, Fat Brain Toys promotes design-centric toys and games that educate AND entertain.
Fat Brain Toys is comprised of four distinct sales channels, each working in concert to bring back better toys & games to the American household.
- Online Retail
- Brick & Mortar Retail
- Direct Mail Catalog
- Wholesale
But more than anything, we are still a small, family owned and operated business that takes great pride in our ability to offer exceptional service to each and every customer. We appreciate your interest in Fat Brain Toys!
The Wooden Block. Reinvented.
Tegu is a vertically-integrated toy company with offices in Darien, Connecticut and Tegucigalpa, Honduras. In 2006, Tegu co-founder Chris Haughey returned from Honduras with a vision to create a for-profit business that would have a transforming effect on the lives of Hondurans. Four years later, not only has Tegu electrified the toy market with the introduction of its magnetic wooden blocks, but, in doing so, Chris and his brother Will have delivered on their commitment to make a lasting difference in Honduras and to its economy.
Curiously Attractive.
“Click-Clack.” It’s the iconic sound of two Tegu blocks coming together. Tegu has reinvented the wooden block in a way that brings new life to a favored classic.
Brilliantly Simple.
Tegu's magnetic wooden blocks inspire open-ended play at its best. With the intriguing combination of wood and magnets there are no limits to what you can create. Made with beautiful Honduran hardwoods and safe water-based finishes, these blocks have proven wildly addictive for kids (and kids at heart) and will encourage the simple joy of creating for generations.
Naturally Safe.
Tegu blocks exceed all safety requirements mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA); all our magnets are safely embedded inside responsibly sourced hardwoods and all our coatings are water-based and non-toxic.
