Lego was first introduced to the Chinese market in the 1980s as a toymaker in the country and it has only just fifty [50] stores across the entire country producing and marketing the toy. Lego which is made of bricks in a block shape is very known in the united states and other European countries by their children and the parents to relax their children from stress and as a means of playing equipment.

Chinese children's pocket money is estimated to be around $58.25 billion which help also to the growth of lego in the China Market. Education; lego have been able to contribute greatly to the Chinese education Scheme which has helped the Chinese kids brilliantly, as education to the Chinese is a very important matter to them all and lego have to help the children so many ways to bring out their true potentials with the lego bricks building very creative construction game.


Lego, as they have contributed greatly to the education system, have gone to the points they make toys that the parents are very happy with such as construction designed teaching computer coding picture to small kids, and they also make toys that can be used to teach the children about construction, science, technology, mathematics lesson to the primary children in some cities in China.

Lego once has 50 stores in China as from 2011-215 but from 2017 it has been doubled times two to 80 stores and even planning on how to increase it to 220 stores in the entire country from 2019 last year, which show that China is the best place to sell and produce lego even though they are among the least people that know about lego, not like the developed countries like the united states and the rest who have been in lego for so long.


 But china due to the population and the GDP has raised to the top as the number one market place for lego and they are really making good use of the opportunity. And lego has been able to contribute greatly to Chinese life vividly in terms of education, science, mathematics, and computer coding pictures that help children to learn easily.
