Ole Kirk Christian invented Legos.
1932
Lego was first invented in 1932, but didn't get the name Lego till 1934. It was invented in Denmark and did not start creating plastic toys till much later on.
No, it was invented in Denmark. Still in Europe, though. :) It was invented by Ole Kirk Kristiansen and started as just simple wooden toys. Later it became the interlocking plastic toy it is today.
A man called ole kirk kristiensen, he was a danish carpenter and he invented the company lego in 1920, they made wooden toys until 1932, when they began making plastic building bricks using plastic injection moulding machines (The same way that airfix is made!)
Lego pieces are made from a plastic known as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
The Lego Company
They started manufacturing plastic Lego bricks in 1949. Before, they made wooden toys.
No, Lego is plastic and therefore cannot get rusty.
On April 7, 1891 began the making of the wooden toys from the Lego Group and then expanded to plastic toy bricks in 1949. An exact day of the production of the Lego bricks is unknown.
No, it is plastic.
1932
You melt plastic and get a molting machine of some sort and it shapes the melted plastic into a Lego piece.
