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.
