Do you remember ....

Ole Kirk Kristiansen was a master carpenter and joiner who established
his business in 1932.

He made stepladders, ironing boards, stools and wooden toys.

The company adopted its name in 1934.
It is a combination of two Danish words,

Leg and Godt, which mean “play well.”

Coincidentally, the word in Latin also means “I put together.”

In 1946, the LEGO Group bought a plastic injection-molding machine for toy production.

In 1949, the company was producing plastic and wooden toys

which included Automatic Binding Bricks,

the forerunner of the bricks we know today.  LEGO began selling in the US in 1961.
