Help!?

I don't have poster board or glue—what can I use instead?

If you don't have poster board, tape together several sheets of paper or use a cereal-box cardboard, and replace glue with a glue stick or clear tape to attach a trimmed photo or decorations mentioned in the steps.

My photo or drawing won't fit neatly in the picture area or the glue wrinkles—how do I fix that?

Trim the photo carefully to the picture area size before gluing, press the glued photo flat under a heavy book to dry, or use double-sided tape so the photo stays smooth and in place as the instructions require.

How can I change the activity for different ages?

For younger kids, have a parent help sketch the pet, glue in a photo, and write the five short facts and routine for them, while older kids can draw more detail, add measurements or a mini timeline of the daily routine, and prepare a digital version to upload to DIY.org.

What are some ways to make the poster more special or advanced?

Enhance the poster by adding real items like a small tuft of fur or a textured paw-print, creating a 3D border from recycled materials when you decorate, or printing a QR code that links to a short video of your pet's daily routine before sharing on DIY.org.
