The invention of Lego bricks
Lego bricks were originally simple toys to inspire babies' intelligence. The inventor of Lego bricks is Ollie Kirk.

189 1 year, Ollie Kirk was born in Goff village, Fils, near Bilong.

He has superb carpentry skills. When he was young, he was keen on making all kinds of small toys. Small planes, cars and small animals from his hands are all lifelike.

Although he doesn't know how to do business and his toys are often unsalable, it doesn't make him give up his hobby.

Later, his spelling toy "Yoyo" finally became all the rage.

1932, he invented a plastic toy that can be inserted into each other, and combined Leg and Godt (Danish meaning "play well") to create the brand Lego.

1934, he designed the "Lego" trademark for his building block toys.

Lego means "have fun" in Danish and "read" and "combine" in Latin.

Ollie Kirk thinks this word is exactly what he meant.

Since then, Lego bricks and Lego companies have been born.

Lego blocks used to be made of wood. After World War II, with the popularization of plastic products, Lego bricks were also made of plastic.

1949, the first Lego plastic building block came out.

Two years later, plastic building blocks based on the principle of hole-column connection were put on the market.

I am very happy that Gao has launched a building block product specially designed for babies from 3 months to 5 years old.

This kind of building block is 8 times larger than ordinary building blocks, which can prevent babies from eating by mistake and being dangerous.

19581On October 28th, Lego's unique "stud-and-tube" was patented.

Lego uses "play on" as the self-expression of the brand, which accords with the brand meanings of "Lego" and "play well".

Today, Lego has 2 million members all over the world. Fortune once named Lego as "Toy of the Century", which has a variety of series and is attractive to men, women and children of different ages.

Lego bricks are popular all over the world and occupy the market in more than 20 countries.

It is estimated that more than 300 million children own Lego bricks.
