Playground Powers
Ellie loves playground games, but sometimes things did not go the way she expected. A friend might choose a different game. The rules might change. Or the plan she had in mind might not work anymore. When that happened, Ellie felt frustrated and unsure what to do next.
Ellie the Elastic Elephant teaches flexible thinking, helping children cope when plans change, games shift, or things do not go their way. Through stories, videos and playful practice, Ellie helps children build confidence adapting to new situations and finding another way forward.
Helping children practise fairness, turn-taking and sharing through real everyday moments of play.
when other kids are already swinging and it feels like forever.
when it feels hard to know who to play with or where to begin.
when another child seems shy and unsure how to join the fun.
when drawing, building or group tasks already seem underway.
when lots of children know each other and things feel unfamiliar.
when games, pretend play or backyard fun already has momentum.
Playground Powers was created because many children struggle with social situations, but are rarely taught these skills in a clear and supportive way.
