Lego is a popular toy construction set. Lego toys are a set of plastic bricks. You can put the
bricks together to make new things. Kids can build vehicles, buildings, and even working robots
from the bricks. The bricks come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. If you can imagine something,
you can build it with Lego. Lego is the company that manufactures Lego toys. The company is from
Denmark. The word “Lego” is from the Danish words “leg godt”. This means “play well” in
Danish. A Danish carpenter started making the toys from wood in 1932.
Some popular Lego sets are space vehicles, town buildings, and pirate ships. Some Lego sets are
small and have only a few dozen bricks. Other Lego sets are huge and people spend many hours
building them. The famous Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars is one of Lego’s biggest
sets. It has over 5,195 bricks! The instruction manual is 311 pages long. When Lego released it
in 2007, the Millennium Falcon was the biggest Lego set they ever made. Since then, Lego has made
an even bigger set. In 2008, Lego started to sell a model of the Taj Mahal, a big building in
India. The Taj Mahal set has 5,922 bricks! Lego continues to be a fun hobby for children and even
some adults.
