Help!?
What can we use if we don't have a laundry basket, storage bins, or a vacuum?
Use a sturdy trash bag or reusable grocery bag for dirty clothes instead of a laundry basket, shoeboxes or tote bags for toys and books instead of storage bins, and a broom, handheld brush and dustpan or a damp cloth for spot-cleaning instead of a vacuum.
What should we do if the room looks too messy to finish in the 20-minute timer?
Prioritize quick wins from the instructionsâput all dirty clothes into the basket, gather trash into the trash bag, and clear floor items firstâthen ask an adult to help sort large piles so you can complete the photo step.
How can I adapt this activity for a younger child or make it harder for an older child?
For younger kids shorten the timer to 5â10 minutes and assign simple tasks like 'put toys in the bin' with an adult taking the photo, while for older kids increase the timer, add tasks like dusting surfaces and organizing drawers, and encourage posting a before-and-after on DIY.org.
How can we extend or personalize cleaning beyond taking one photo?
Make a before-and-after collage, add labels or decorate the storage boxes, keep a sticker reward chart for steps like making the bed and wiping dust, and write a short caption about the changes before posting the finished-room photo with an adult on DIY.org.
