Just Looked on Google’s Logo and it is Lego’s 50th anniversary.

Lego is a line of building toys manufactured by the Lego Group, a privately held company based in Denmark.

The company’s flagship product, commonly referred to as Lego bricks, consists of colourful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears, minifigures and various other parts. There are other Lego pieces which can be assembled and connected in many ways, such as vehicles, buildings and even working robots. The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932; the company began calling itself “Lego” two years later in 1934. The company expanded to producing plastic toys in 1947. More information on Legos and where I got my information on the histroy of them Go Here. I think all kids had legos when they were young or had them in school.
