3. How Lego's Work
Most LEGO pieces have two
basic components –
• Studs
•Tubes
Brick's studs are slightly
bigger than the space
between the tubes and the
walls. When you press the
bricks together, the studs push
the walls out and the tubes in.

4. Why a LEGO?
Ole wanted to give kids a fun affordable toy for those that
were not wealthy but still deserved to enjoy playtime.
