Every kid loves LEGO, right?
Personally, I’ve yet to meet a kid who doesn’t love LEGO. I even know “big kids” who still love LEGO.
Here’s a little bit of interesting LEGO trivia for you. LEGO was founded in 1932 (that’s 84 years ago!) by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. LEGO started as a small carpenter’s workshop! It wasn’t until 1958 that the famous LEGO brick was invented.
Ever wondered where the name LEGO comes from? It’s an abbreviation of two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”.
Appropriate name because most kids do play well when gathered around a pile of LEGO!
