Lego Lego was given the honour of Toy Of The Year for the first time in 1974, even though it was invented over 40 years earlier by The Lego Company. Founder Ole Kirk Christiansen came up with the term Lego in 1932. It was made out of the two Danish words "LEg GOdt" meaning "play well" in English. If placed end to end, all Lego sets sold in the last 10 years would stretch from London to Perth, western Australia.
