Today is the Lego Brick's birthday (and my friend Carmine's, but I won't embarass her today)!
On January 28, 1958 the Lego brick was patented in Denmark. We have a book (probably not a surprise to you) about the history of Legos and it shows all the old Lego sets. There is also a fun book on all the Lego minifigures made and a book on all the Lego Star Wars sets.
Here are some fun facts for you on this special day.
1961-Legos started selling in the US
1978-The first mini figures are made
1999-Legoland opens in Carlsbad, CA
19 billion Legos bricks are produced each year. Thats 36,000 every minute.
There are 2,400 different brick shapes.
And Paula showed me this clever blog called a LEGO a day. I wish I thought of that.
