Lego bricks are plastic toys that can construct small toy houses, buildings, whatever you choose!
It's a group of plastic bricks that have entertained not only young kids but also the adults in the family. And not only bricks, but it also comes with a lot of Lego minifigures and comes in one big Lego set.
Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish carpenter in 1932 in a small town Billund in central Denmark, began making wooden toys. After two years, his company was given the name 'Lego' which literally means 'play well' in Danish. It was not until 1947 and 1949, the company started making plastic toys and interconnecting bricks to form all sorts of things. The original Lego brick set came in loose sets of tiny bricks. Today the Lego group has come up with a diverse range of toys. What's contained in different sets varies from set to set. The bigger you buy, the larger the variety of things you get to create. The most recent sets also come with Lego wooden toys, Lego flowers, Lego minifigures, and many more. Not only that, Lego has also collaborated with several popular franchises such as Batman, Superman, Harry Potter, Disney series, Star Wars, and more. It has become so popular that even a Lego movie was created. The Lego company is developing more new and improved models every day and is a worldwide name in every house.
