LEGO hot tip!

If you have troublesome pieces stuck together, you can try using a needle puller. It’s like a tiny jar gripper that’s perfect for dealing with small objects. They’re usually a few bucks for a 3 pack at craft stores.

(Brought to you by kid bringing me pieces they’ve tried to pry apart with their greasy little fingers)

Don't watch the bad show Australia.
