A charming and chaotic video delighted viewers with its depiction of a mischievous toddler’s messy adventure.
The adorable clip, shared on the Instagram account @freshmenmag, went viral and gained massive attention online.
The video begins with the sight of a one-year-old toddler completely covered in white baking flour, which was poured from a 10kg bag, lying next to him. The flour covered his entire body, including his face, as well as a large portion of the floor. Initially, the toddler is quiet and still, as if reading the grown-ups' mood, aware that what he has done is wrong. This silent moment of guilt is short-lived, however.

The toddler experiments with flour
As the sound of a little girl’s laughter can be heard in the background, the toddler’s face lights up, and he begins to play in the flour, laughing along with her. In the background, a grown-up can be heard amused and exasperated, noting that they have just washed him. The contrast between the toddler’s initial quiet guilt with his sudden, joyful playfulness creates an amusing and relatable scene for the family.
