Lego is 50 years old today and there have been some amazing creations across the world by the masters of lego building over these years. Ross Crawford is one such master builder in Australia with a 4 metre long copy of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
In 2006, a team at Legoland in Billund, Denmark created a model of the world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380 superjumbo.
Today, Lego’s bestsellers include its Star Wars, Lego City and Bionicle ranges. But the traditional eight-stud brick is still the foundation of the business.
If you have not got any other building materials then make sure you have some lego – ideal for counting and looking at 3-D shapes as well as building anything!
