About LEGO®

Founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, LEGO is one of the world's leading manufacturers of play materials.

As children shape their own worlds with LEGO bricks, we play our part in having a positive impact on the world they live in today and will inherit in the future. LEGO play starts to release a child’s potential from the moment they pick up their first brick, and inspires and develops the builders of tomorrow. We strive to consistently deliver experiences that embody the spirit of our brand name, which is derived from the words "play well" in Danish.

By creating fun experiences inspired by our unique building system that combine logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination, we prepare our playful learners for life.
