Kitsilano Library LEGO® Children's Block Party

✍️ By Karalee Greer | WBN News – Kitsilano | May 3, 2025

LEGO®, derived from the Danish words "leg godt" meaning "play well," was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. Over the decades, LEGO® has evolved from simple wooden toys to the iconic interlocking plastic bricks known worldwide today. These bricks have become a staple in fostering creativity and problem-solving skills among children and adults alike.

The iconic LEGO® wooden duck stands as a testament to the humble beginnings of the LEGO Group. Crafted in the 1930s by founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen, this pull-along toy was among the first products to bear the LEGO name. Lego Group History

This charming duck was designed with a unique feature: as it was pulled along, its beak would open and close, delighting children with its lifelike motion. Some versions even emitted a quacking sound, enhancing the interactive experience . The duck's design was both simple and functional, reflecting Kristiansen's commitment to quality craftsmanship during an era when resources were scarce.Brothers Brick
