Play - EASY! -2. Authoring objects from the details of the constructor "Lego"

On January 28, 1958, an unusual game cube was patented in Copenhagen. It could easily and firmly connect to other cubes of the same kind due to protrusions and holes. Thus was born the world’s most popular designer, named "LEGO" after the company that released it. Two Danish words are connected in this name: “LED GODT”, which means “to play well”. It turned out that the word “lego” is also in Latin, and it translates as “learning” and “folding”. That’s how wonderful everything went in this constructor! He teaches children spatial thinking, ingenuity, develops imagination. In addition, the designer allows you to play role-playing games, because there are sets dedicated to various fascinating stories. And many do not part with LEGO, even becoming adults. At the beginning of this century, the British Toy Sellers Association called the LEGO die "Toy of the Century."

Toy Museum at the request of visitors for the second time holds a spring exhibition of objects from LEGO parts. In the exposition "Play - EASY! -2" you will see new cars, buildings and even the whole city, assembled by members of the Russian community of Double Brick, as well as sets for girls. Children will be able to try out the possibilities of the designer right in the hall.
