“The Ultimate Building
Block”
Ever wanted something to build with? If you did not,
now you do because you can get Legos. LEGO is the ultimate building blocks
ever!
The word LEGO comes from two Danish
words “LEg” and “GOdt”, meaning, “play well”. Also in Latin LEGO means “I put
together”.
The LEGO Company must be very popular.
Do you know why? That is because the LEGO brand is one of the children’s top
five brands. The LEGO Company is committed to the development of children’s
creative and imaginative abilities. Did you know that the LEGO group has 50
companies in 29 countries? Also did you know that the LEGO Company is the 4th
largest Toy Company in the world? I think the biggest Toy Company in the world
is Bandi.
The biggest LEGO set ever is a star
wars set. The set is called is called the Imperial Star Destroyer. The ship is
over 3 feet long, over 23 inches wide and is 16 and one-half inches tall! Also
it has 3,104 pieces, to be exact. That ship has a lot of pieces and it is very
long.
I did a survey of some 5th graders in Central School.
Did you know that only one out of the ten people I surveyed said they did not
like to play with Legos? Before I surveyed the people I thought all of them
would say that they liked to play with Legos. I learned that a lot of people
are creative. All of the people I surveyed said that their first LEGO set when
they were 3,4 and 5. Six out of the ten people said that they don’t play with
Legos any more and four out of the ten people said that they still play with
Legos. Seven out of ten people said that they don’t have LEGO soccer or LEGO
basketball and three out of ten people said that they have LEGO soccer or LEGO
basketball.
LEGO is “the toy of the century.” It went
from wooden toys to plastic bricks. If you are going to get a building set, get
Legos.
