It didn't work.

I kept stubbing my toe.

(sighs) Oh, I'm sorry, Pinkalicious.

What do you do when you're sure something will work, but it doesn't?

Like when you're inventing something?

Hmm, first, I try to figure out what went wrong.

Then I use what I learn to try something different.

Hmm.

I tried to make my old shoes bigger, but I didn't really do that.

I just cut part of them away.

So what are you going to try next?

I'm going to make my own, pinkatastically pinkaperfect shoes.

Just like my old ones, only bigger!

Hmm.

I need something really springy for the bottoms.

Oh, how about this?

Would you cut some for me, please?

Thank you so much, Mommy.

Now, what could I use for the tops?

Maybe there's something in the Make Things box.

This cardboard could work.

I could cut it into strips.

♪ ♪ Now to hold it all together... Those are starting to look like your old shoes.

Only bigger.

Let's see if they fit.

Oh, super-comfy.

And springy!

I love them!

But they still need to be pinkafied.

♪ ♪ ALL: Whoa!

You made those yourself?

They look really good, Pinkalicious.

But do you think you can hop in them?

I hope so.

I'll give it a try.

They work!
