Kiddicraft

Kiddicraft

Kiddicraft was the predecessor of Lego bricks. It was founded in 1932 by Hilary Harry Fisher Page (1904-1957), who created the self-locking bricks.

In 1939 Hilary Page applied for a patent for 'Toy Building Blocks'. In this and subsequent patents he described hollow bricks with 4 and 8 studs on top. These Kiddicraft 'Self Locking Bricks' were a Hilary Page 'Sensible' Toy made in England after the 1939-45 war. Lego introduced their "Automatic Binding Bricks" in 1949 after acquiring rights to the Kiddicraft design.
