Happy Birthday, LEGO!!!

It began with wooden toys...

In the early 1930s the world was in the grip of an economic depression. Ole Kirk Christiansen (Founder) felt its effects in his carpentry business – there was less and less work for him as house building stagnated. He looked around for other ways of earning a living. One was to make wooden toys – the year was 1932, and his toy business had started.

And the storie with the little bricks started ;) This year - on August 10 - the LEGO Company is celebrating his 75th birthday. (You can read the official press release about it here)

I wish you LEGO all the best! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :o)
