What kid in the world doesn’t love Lego? It’s the most basic form of toy, with truly no limitations.
You simply build things with no set objective, and that’s enough to keep anybody entertained for hours, days, or even longer.
Anyway, if you loved Lego as a child, or still love it even as a responsible adult, then here’s a fun video I created for a University project, which gives a brief history of Lego.
