"He lifts the box, and whoosh! The cereal spills everywhere!"

"Ben feels a little sad. 'Oops,' he whispers."

"Mom says, 'It’s okay, Ben! Let’s practice together.'"

"They try again, this time holding the box slowly."

"'Nice and slow,' says Mom."

"Ben says, 'I can do it, Mom!'"

"The cereal lands in the bowl—no spills!"

"Ben feels big and strong. 'I did it!'"

"Tomorrow, Ben is ready to try again."

Ben’s Big Cereal Spill

Ben was a curious little boy who loved to do things on his own. 

One morning, he decided he wanted to pour his own cereal. 

He watched as Mom did it every day and thought, 'I can do that too!' 

So, he reached for the big cereal box with determination. 

His heart was full of excitement.

Ben's Big Idea

Ben lifted the cereal box high above the bowl. 

Suddenly, the box tilted too far, and whoosh! 

The cereal spilled everywhere, covering the table like a crunchy carpet. 

Ben felt a little sad and whispered, 'Oops.' He looked at Mom, unsure of what to do next.

The Big Spill

Mom smiled warmly and said, 'It’s okay, Ben! 

Let’s practice together.' 

She showed Ben how to hold the box with both hands. 

'Nice and slow,' she instructed. 

Ben nodded, feeling encouraged and ready to try again. 

They practiced pouring with an empty box first.
