Help!?
What can we use if we don't have materials like stickers, glue, or a camera mentioned in the instructions?
If you don't have stickers or glue for the 'attach any photos and decorations' step, use colored paper cutouts or crayons and secure photos with tape, staples, or folded photo corners, and if you don't have a camera for the video, borrow a parent's smartphone to film the clips.
What should we do if our pet won't perform the trick or stay still for photos or video?
If your pet won't do the trick during the 'film short clips' or photo steps, use the pet's toy or treat you gathered to motivate them, film many short takes of 10–20 seconds, and ask an adult to help keep the recording area calm and safe.
How can the activity be changed for younger kids or older kids?
For younger children, make a simple one-page poster with a big title, three photos and adult help with the 'set up a safe area' and attaching photos, while older kids can write a short script, film 4–8 edited clips and add a researched care tip in captions for the video option.
How can we enhance or personalize our poster or video beyond the basic instructions?
To personalize your project, add upbeat background music and short title cards when you 'edit your video clips together,' include a filmed demonstration of the care tip from the 'film short clips' step, or create a paw-print painted border and custom captions on your poster.
