40 Hilarious Kid Fails That Prove Childhood Is Just A Series Of Bad Decisions
Life is tough when you’re a kid. One minute you’re confidently walking with a juice box in hand, and the next, you’re face-first in the sandbox wondering where it all went wrong. From legendary spills to ambitious but ill-fated DIY haircuts, kid fails are proof that children have an unmatched talent for making questionable life choices—with hilarious consequences.
In this collection of 40 kid fails, we celebrate the moments when little humans learned (the hard way) that gravity is not their friend, that silence is never a good sign, and that permanent markers are, in fact, permanent. Whether it’s a toddler attempting to hide after making a mess (but only covering half their body with a curtain) or an overconfident child thinking they can carry just one more stuffed animal, these fails remind us that childhood is as chaotic as it is adorable.
