Legos are a line of plastic interlocking building bricks produced by the Danish toy company the Lego Group, which was founded by Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932. The toy consists of various-colored bricks and other parts, such as minifigures, that can be assembled in countless ways to build objects, which can then be taken apart and reused to create new constructions. The word "LEGO" comes from the Danish phrase "leg godt," meaning "play well".
