Legos

Snap-together toys

Legos is the common plural for Lego bricks—the interlocking plastic building blocks made by the Danish toy company.

The official stance is that "Lego" serves as both singular and plural, but I stepped on some Legos is how most people actually talk.

The toys are synonymous with creative construction and childhood play, and have spawned video games, films, and theme parks.
