LEGO is a line of construction toys manufactured by the Danish company Lego Group. LEGOs are colorful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears, miniature figures and various other parts. LEGO bricks can be assembled and connected into an infinite number of shapes to construct vehicles, buildings and even working machines. The objects can then be disassembled, and the pieces reused to make other objects.
