So you have Duplo blocks.
Can you remove them? Because you have to make the highest tower.
Okay.
Yes.
And what else? Yes. Ready for more?
-Yeah.
I have another one for you.

So, remove all the bricks from the plate.

Yeah.
I’ll put this on top and this can be the roof.
Pretty big and heavy roof. Do we have a problem here?
Yeah.
-What?
We need more LEGO on it.
-Okay.
Put them…
Whoa!
I made a slide!
This could be the biggest tower.
I think it is the biggest tower.
