The quiz after the story

When the story ends, a short clip pauses and asks a question out loud with three picture answers. Here is what this one asks, so you can talk about it together afterwards.

  1. How did Tiny feel when the pretty colors got all messy on her face?
    • Confused
    • Happy
    • Sad ✓
  2. When her face was finally clear, what held Tiny's real magic?
    • Her smile ✓
    • Sparkly jar
    • Big hat

Talk about it

After watching, ask your child: what did Tiny or Milo feel? What would you have done? One question is enough. The goal is a small moment of reflection, not a lesson.
