<\/a><\/p>\nLEGO\u00ae has been around for more than 80 years<\/h3>\n
LEGO\u00ae was founded back in 1932 in Denmark by Ole Kirk Christiansen. He began by making wooden toys before moving on to the interlocking bricks we know and love. The modern LEGO\u00ae brick design we\u2019re familiar with was patented in January 1958.<\/p>\n
The name comes from the Danish for \u201d\u02dcplay well\u2019 or \u201d\u02dcLeg Godt<\/em>\u2019. The concept of LEGO\u00ae is for their users to learn through play, and their motto is \u201d\u02dcdet bedste er ikke for godt<\/em>\u2019 which translates to \u201d\u02dconly the best is good enough\u2019 in English.<\/p>\n Did you know that LEGO\u00ae bricks made back in the 1950s would interlock with bricks from today? This has been designed so that all bricks can be played with \u201d\u201c no matter how old or young! This makes building LEGO\u00ae collections a breeze.<\/p>\n In 1998, LEGO\u00ae was inducted to the National Toy Hall of Fame. They\u2019re in good company, sitting alongside the likes of Playing Cards and the Barbie doll. Not only that, LEGO\u00ae were named Toy of the Century by the British Association of Toy Retailers, and are currently the world\u2019s most powerful brand.<\/p>\n The largest tower made from LEGO\u00ae bricks stands at a staggering 112ft and 11 stories high. It took an incredible 500,000 bricks to complete.<\/p>\n You can! The Taj Mahal, is the largest commercially produced LEGO\u00ae set with more than 5,900 pieces. LEGO is popular beyond the physicality of building towers and sets; there have also been 50 LEGO\u00ae games created!<\/p>\n No, it\u2019s not LEGO\u00ae bricks. It\u2019s wheels! LEGO\u00ae are the largest manufacturer of wheels in the world as well as being the biggest toy company.<\/p>\n If LEGO\u00ae figurines were alive, they\u2019d be the largest population on earth. If you lined these little figures up, you would be able to cover the distance from London to Beijing! Did you know, the figurines created by LEGO\u00ae are designed with the hole at the top for a reason? You may think it\u2019s just to attach hair or a hat, but it\u2019s really for safety. The hole provides an airway in case it is choked on.<\/p>\n But a man called James May did! Back in 2009, former Top Gear co-host May built a fully functioning house made entirely of LEGO\u00ae bricks. He used 3.3 million bricks to complete it, and the house was equipped with a fully functioning bathroom!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe name itself derives from the Danish language<\/h3>\n
