What can we use if we don't have colored paper or a black marker?

Use regular white paper colored with crayons, colored pencils, or paint for Unapooky and substitute a dark pen, fine-tip permanent marker, or a sharpened black colored pencil to trace the chameleon and Tweety outlines.

My marker smudged and pencil lines won't erase—what should I do?

Let the black marker dry fully before erasing, gently rub out pencil marks with a clean eraser, and if smudges remain hide them by adding stripes, spots, or stickers as decorative patterns on the chameleon or star.

How can I adapt the activity for younger or older children?

For younger children, pre-draw the rounded leaf chameleon body and pre-cut the star so they can color, sticker and glue decorations, while older kids can add detailed patterns, shading, mixed media like sequins or fabric, or create a scene with a background before posting on DIY.org.

How can we personalize or extend the finished party chameleon, Unapooky, and Tweety?

Turn them into a mobile or greeting card by mounting the chameleon, star, and Tweety on cardstock, attach the star with a string to make Unapooky hang, add googly eyes to the chameleon and sequins to Tweety, or give the chameleon's spiral tail a brad fastener so it swivels.
