What can we use if the Gacha app or certain fur patterns aren't available?
If the Gacha app or a specific fur-pattern option is missing, use another free character-creator or a drawing app and follow the same steps—select a base body shape, pick main and secondary fur colors, add an outfit and accessories, choose a pose and expression, then save/export.
What should we do if we can't save or export the finished dog or upload it to DIY.org?
If Save/Export fails after you pick the pose, name the dog, and write the tiny story, take a clear screenshot of the finished dog and then upload that image to DIY.org while also checking app permissions and available storage.
How can this activity be adapted for different age groups?
For preschoolers, preselect the base body and main fur color and let them choose one accessory and a name; for early elementary kids, let them add the fur pattern, outfit, and write the one-sentence personality; for older kids, encourage custom color combos, layered accessories, multiple poses, and a longer backstory before saving/exporting.
How can we extend or personalize the finished dog project?
To extend the activity, make a whole pack of dogs with matching outfits and different poses, create a background scene in a drawing app, export several poses to animate a short sequence, or print the saved picture to turn it into stickers while keeping each dog's name and tiny story.
