Ella Spills The Paint and Keeps Going: A Story About Mistakes, Big Feelings, and Resilience
Mistakes and accidents happen, but to young kids, they can feel huge.
Whether it’s a spilled cup or a smudged drawing, little accidents often come with big feelings. This story helps toddlers and preschoolers begin to understand that:
- Accidents can happen, even when they’re trying their best
- It’s okay to feel sad, frustrated, or stuck
- Grown-ups can help when something goes wrong
- Taking a breath and looking again can turn a “mistake” into something new
- Kind words and gentle support help build confidence and emotional resilience
Through Ella’s experience, this story models how to cope with mistakes, stay curious, and try again, even when things don’t go as planned. A story about being human. And learning how to keep going.
