As Gizmodo notes, Legos, the popular toy building blocks just turned 50 today. I still believe to be the best toy ever. Legos can bring the creativity out of young minds and even those older can use their creativity to build what they want. I remember spending hours on end playing with them as a kid. My parents still have all the legos separated by color in bins in our basement. I remember always getting new sets, building them, then taking them apart to use for whatever I wanted to make. The best part of Legos was not building the patterns & sets, but rather using the pieces to build whatever it was that you wanted to build. As seen above, Google is even honoring the 50th anniversary of Lego.
