Did you rev up your engines and get your building hats on, this International Lego Day? It was not just any ordinary day – but a global celebration of creativity, innovation, and, surprisingly, the automotive world!
Each year, National Lego Day falls on January 28th. It is a day when Lego enthusiasts from all corners of the globe were able to come together in celebration of the iconic Lego brick - a symbol of limitless imagination and fun.
Let's start with a fact that will floor the accelerator for car lovers: did you know that Lego is the world's largest tyre manufacturer?
Producing over 400 million tiny rubber tyres each year, Lego zooms past all other tyre manufacturers.
This connection between Lego and the automotive industry is a hidden gem, tucked away in the colourful world of these plastic bricks.
Imagine this – every Lego set you build, you're not just creating a toy, but you're also part of a huge, global tyre production line.
From kits that resemble the best performance cars to electric vehicles, each Lego vehicle comes with its own set of mini rubber wheels - making Lego a giant in the toy and automotive industries.
It all began in 1932 with Ole Kirk Christiansen, a visionary Danish carpenter. The original building pieces were made from wood. I'm sure Ole would not have imagined that one day his creation would lead to a National Lego Day
Fast forward to 1949, and Lego began manufacturing the plastic bricks we know and love today, paving the way for a multitude of creations.
Think about it – every time you snap a Lego brick into place, you're continuing a legacy that started over 90 years ago!
Now, what's a celebration without some fun activities? International Lego Day was the perfect excuse to dust off your old Lego sets and start building.
Whether you're recreating your dream car or constructing an entire Lego city, there's no limit to what you can create.
For the movie buffs, a Lego movie marathon might have been the ideal way to spend the day. With their witty humour and captivating storytelling, Lego movies are a hit among all ages.
But let's not forget the educational side of Lego – it's not just about fun and games. Building with Lego bricks enhances skills like spatial intelligence and hand-eye coordination, especially in young minds.
For automotive enthusiasts and Lego fans alike, 2024 brings a thrilling lineup of Lego sets that blend the joy of building with the passion for cars.
