Ella as she uses her boundless creativity and infectious enthusiasm to solve everyday problems in spectacularly innovative ways. A warm, humorous mix of fun and laughter about charismatic, creative Ella and the playful kids and eccentric adults in her life.
Ella loves to play. And when she encounters a problem, she greets it with her catchphrase ‘Uh-oh. What a pickle!’ Then she goes about solving it – in her own very special way. Ella’s solutions are always larger-than-life, surprising, left field and delightful. They are, in short, unique.
Whether it’s a tidying up session that Ella turns into a treasure hunt, or a rainy day indoors, in which she reinvents her top-floor apartment as a lighthouse, her inventions are clever, unexpected, and make kids say ‘Wow! I wish I had ideas like that!’ And they will! Because this show aims to empower children to think in new and creative ways. As Ella herself would say “There are lots of ideas bouncing around in your head all the time. You just have to catch one!”
No one else has adventures like Ella’s because no one else thinks in quite the way Ella does. And you know when she’s had one of her brilliant ideas, because she bursts out with a joyful “Bingo!” This explosive word sums up the sense of discovery, delight and excitement that accompanies Ella’s thought processes.
