Re-create a Scene from Encanto as Mirabel or Isabel

What can we use if we don't have tape, artificial flowers, or cardstock to make Mirabel's paper glasses or Isabela's bouquet?

Use string, twist-ties, or paperclips instead of tape, gather small real backyard flowers or crumpled tissue-paper blossoms instead of store-bought flowers, and cut glasses from cereal-box cardboard or draw them on printer paper for Mirabel's paper glasses.

My prop keeps falling during the main movement—how can I stop that and complete the step 'practice the main movement slowly while holding your prop'?

Secure light props by looping a string around your wrist, taping a paperclip as an anchor, practice the movement slowly exactly as the instructions say, and keep the prop placed within reach on the cleared stage so you can pick it up easily if it drops.

How can I adapt this activity for a 4-year-old, an 8-year-old, or a 12-year-old when following steps like practicing expressions in front of the mirror and saying lines twice?

For a 3–5-year-old choose one very short scene, use a pre-made paper prop and practice one facial expression and one line; for an 6–9-year-old follow the mirror step and three expressions plus the slow main movement; for a 10–14-year-old add extra choreography, refine costume bits from the wardrobe, and record multiple takes before sharing on DIY.org.

How can we enhance or personalize the final performance beyond the instructions before sharing on DIY.org?

Decorate the small safe stage with colored paper or fabric, add simple recorded background music, make detailed props like layered tissue flowers for Isabela or painted cardboard glasses for Mirabel, and ask the adult filming to capture close-ups and full-body shots so you can edit a polished video to upload to DIY.org.
