Before the familiar bricksSourced
The Lego founder’s range included a wooden duck
Lego founder Ole Kirk Christiansen moved from woodworking and household goods into wooden toys. By 1935 his range included a pull-along wooden duck. The company’s early output looked quite different from the plastic construction bricks now associated with its name.
The toy story began with materials other than plastic.
