Kids have loved playing with LEGO from the time it was first launched all the way back in 1958 and, a whole 61 years later, they still love it now. In fact, since its conception, it has been named "Toy of the Century" twice.
And considering improvements in toy technology are constantly being made, that's no mean feat. It may seem like a simple idea - "building" things out of little plastic bricks - but it does wonders for children and their creativity.

It is still unclear as to whether the slippers will be included in every production kit after they have been given the "okay" or whether parents will have to purchase them separately.
