Lego Store Events: June 2014 Lego Calendar

Lego blocks are a fun family activity in our home. The blocks help my kids learn about engineering on a level that can tangibly understand. I love to see my girls and their Dad sit a room together with a pile of legos in front of them. Their creativity goes wild as they learn how to create new things from their imaginations.

Here are 5 facts about lego you may not know:

  1. Did you know lego is a word derived from the Danish phrase “leg godt,” which literally means to “play well” (Source)
  2. Lego factories are truly green and recycle all but 1% of their plastic refuse. (Source)
  3. “To reach the moon you would need to build a column of around 40 billion lego bricks.” (Source)
  4. Did you know that Lego Duplo bricks are 8 times the size of the original lego bricks, but will still fit together? (Source)
  5. The Lego Group first patented the lego bricks January 28, 1958. (Source)
