Lego is a line of plastic construction toys manufactured by The Lego Group. The toys consist of colorful interlocking plastic bricks that can be assembled in various ways to build objects, vehicles, buildings, and working robots. The Lego Group began in 1932 when a Danish carpenter started making wooden toys and expanded into plastic toys in 1947. Lego bricks from 1958 are still compatible with modern bricks, allowing for creative building across generations. The bricks are made through an injection molding process using strong ABS plastic and are designed to have nearly perfect interlocking connections while withstanding millions of possible combinations.
