Lego, also called LEGO, is a type of building toy created and made by the Lego Group ^[1], a company in Denmark. "Lego Bricks" are colorful plastic building blocks that can be joined together easily. Lego blocks are joined together by studs on the top, and holes in the bottom of the brick commonly known as the stud-and-tube connection. LEGO is the most popular building toy in the world.

The Lego company was started by Ole Kirk Christiansen a Danish toy maker. Christiansen made wooden toys for children. He made and sold his first plastic Lego set in the 1940s. Since then, Lego toys have become very popular and are known and loved by people around the world.

Lego bricks come in many shapes and sizes. There are wheels, car screens, and plants. Lego bricks can be joined together in many ways. Vehicles, buildings and even robots can all be built with Lego bricks.

Almost all the blocks from Lego sets can fit together. New blocks made today can fit with old blocks made years ago. The blocks can join together no matter which set they come from. Lego has become so popular that people sometimes use the word "Lego" to talk about any sort of building blocks.
