What are mistakes?

A mistake is when you do something a little differently than you meant to, like when you spill your juice but still manage to drink it.

Imagine you're trying to build a tower with blocks. You want the red block on top, but instead, you put the blue one there. That’s a mistake, but it's okay! Sometimes mistakes help us learn new things. Maybe you’ll realize that the blue block makes your tower look cooler than you thought.

A mistake happens when:

• You try to do something,
• But it doesn’t turn out exactly how you planned,
• Even though it’s still kind of right.

Like when you draw a cat but forget to add the ears. It’s not wrong, it's just a little different.

Think about puddles after rain. You might step in one and get wet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep walking. A mistake is like stepping in a puddle, it changes your path, but it doesn’t stop you from getting to where you're going.
