DIY
LEGO is a real staple in the world of children's toys, and it has been around for quite some time now - 61 years to be exact.
Yes, the modern version of the toy bricks was first developed all the way back in 1958, and its popularity still hasn't waned. In fact, the beloved 'construction' toys have been named "Toy of the Century" twice since LEGO's inception.
But they're actually a lot more versatile than you might have previously given them credit. So, let's not pretend that LEGO is exclusively something for kids to occupy themselves with - because, in reality, they can be used to build any of these inspiring creations.
