Help!?
What can we use instead of the soft mat or blanket if we don't have one?
If you don't have a soft mat or blanket, use a folded yoga mat, a stack of thick towels, or a plush rug under the hammock to protect against falls.
The hammock keeps swinging when my child sits—how can we steady it?
Have the adult stand nearby to steady the hammock, lower it so the child's feet touch the mat, and remind the child to hold the hammock fabric with both hands while sitting gently in the center.
How can we adapt the steps for younger or older kids?
For toddlers, keep the hammock very low with an adult supporting the child and skip the leg extension so both feet stay on the mat, while older kids can hold longer balance poses, extend one leg forward, and take creative photos.
How can we extend or personalize the MushroomFrog hammock posing activity?
Dress the MushroomFrog in a small costume, add a themed background or props, experiment with different poses and lighting, and create a photo series to share on DIY.org.
