Help!?
What can we use if black paper, white paper, or a glue stick are hard to find?
If you don't have black or white paper use plain printer paper colored with markers or paint and substitute a glue stick with clear school glue or double-sided tape to attach the visors.
My visors or crewmate shapes tear or look uneven when cutting—how can I fix that?
To avoid tearing and get neater cuts, fold the paper and draw half a crewmate before cutting for symmetry, use sharp scissors and slow, small snips for the visor rounded rectangles, and patch any rips by gluing a scrap of extra paper behind the tear.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids pre-cut the crewmate and visor shapes so they can just glue and decorate badges with stickers, while older kids can add foam pieces, draw detailed outlines with the black marker, and write more complex level-up rules on the small sheet of paper.
What are some ways to extend or personalize the Black & White Among Us Level Up project?
Extend the game by laminating badges, adding numbered rank tiers on the small sheet of paper, mounting crewmates on popsicle sticks for play, or photographing your finished black and white Among Us characters and badges to share on DIY.org.

Facts about paper crafts for kids
🚀 Among Us was released in 2018 but became a huge hit in 2020 after streamers and friends started playing together.
