Too old to have played with Lego as a child.  My equivalents were Lincoln
Logs, Tinker Toys and especially Erector Set.

By the time I became a father Lego had appeared  Both my daughter and my
son received many Lego sets.  We had an elaborate storage system intended
for part in a workshop into which we organized the bricks as part of
project tear down.  I spent many happy hour building Lego with both
children.
