What can I use if I don't have markers, colored pencils, or a scanner to finish and share the activity?
Use crayons, watercolor or ballpoint pens for your 'paper coloring materials' and simply use your phone camera instead of a scanner when you 'take a photo or scan your drawings and share' on DIY.org.
My hand feels stiff and my alien outlines look awkwardâhow do I fix that during the drawing steps?
Spend more time on the 'Do three quick warm-up doodles of silly shapes' step, draw outlines lightly in pencil so you can erase with your eraser and then confidently go over the final shapes before adding features.
How can I adapt this Doodle a few more aliens activity for different age groups?
For younger children, simplify to one big alien made of circles or ovals colored with crayons and have an adult write the short sentence, while older kids can design two contrasting aliens with detailed habitats, complex patterns, and longer backstories before photographing or scanning to share.
How can we extend or personalize the alien drawings after completing the basic steps?
Turn the 'Draw a simple background' step into a mixed-media diorama or collage using recycled materials and glitter, add costumes or stickers to each alien, or photograph several poses to make a flipbook or a combined online gallery to upload to DIY.org.
