International LEGO Day Is January 28, So Here’s What It Is and How to Celebrate

The LEGO story began in Denmark in 1932 when Ole Kirk Christiansen started crafting wooden toys. The name “LEGO” comes from the Danish phrase “leg godt,” which means “play well.” The company transitioned to plastic in the late 1940s, and by 1958, they had perfected the interlocking brick design that would become LEGO’s signature. LEGO Day celebrates this simple, yet endlessly creative brick system, honoring everything from intricate displays to wonderfully wacky creations.
