Kids' Lego Challenge

Did you know the name ‘LEGO’ is an abbreviation of two Danish words, “leg” and ‘godt” which mean “play well”? We want you to "play well" with us in celebration of Lego Day on January 28! We want you to take on one of our Lego-inspired building challenges! Don’t have Lego at home? No problem, you can use your imagination and any building toys or materials you have at home to answer the challenge.


Play well, WPL!


P.S. Why not challenge a friend? Send them a link to this website: bit.ly/wpllegochallenge
