Det var Ole Kirk Christiansen, der opfandt LEGO firmaet. De startede med at lave trælegetøj
af høj kvalitet i 1932, men i 1958 begyndte de at lave klodserne, som vi kender dem i dag.
Grunden til at det er blevet et af verdens mest populære legetøj er fordi, at børnene får lov
til at bruge deres fantasi.
Familien, der lavede denne nye opfindelse er stadig blandt de rigeste i Danmark.
En af grundene til at LEGO er så populært er, at det har kunnet forny sig, og nu findes der
superhelte og Star Wars og Politi Lego og mange flere.
