Lego (stylized as LEGO) are plastic construction toys, including interlocking plastic bricks of various colors — as well as accompanying minifigures, gears, and other parts — that can be put together and taken apart, and be used to construct many objects, such as model buildings, vehicles, and robots.
It was on today's date in 1958 that a patent for Lego bricks was applied for, which is why today is known as National and International LEGO Day, a day on which we celebrate all things Lego.
Lego bricks and other items are manufactured by the Lego Group, which is based in Billund, Denmark. It was in this city in 1932 that a carpenter by the name of Ole Kirk Christiansen began making wooden toys. The company started making plastic toys in 1947.
