Help!?

What can we use instead of stickers or a ruler if we don't have them?

If you don’t have stickers for the pictograph, use small cut-out paper shapes, coins, or drawn symbols for the 'place sticker groups' step, and substitute a straight book edge or the long side of a notebook for the ruler when you 'lightly draw a simple layout with your pencil and ruler.'

My chart bars look uneven or messy—how can we fix them?

If your bars are uneven, redraw the chart frame with your ruler and pencil, mark equal intervals for each bar before you 'Add bars to the frame,' erase any stray lines, then finalize and label with your marker.

How can we change the activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children (4–6) simplify to 1–2 facts, use large stickers and have an adult lightly draw the layout and chart frame with the ruler and pencil, while older kids can use 3–6 facts, add a legend, exact number labels with a marker, or create the infographic digitally to share on DIY.org.

How can we make the infographic more special or advanced?

To enhance the infographic, add a small 'source' box listing the book or adult you asked, glue real objects inside the chart frame for a tactile pictograph, or include a QR code that links to more information before sharing on DIY.org.

Facts about infographics and data visualization

✂️ Stickers, cut-outs, and textures make infographics tactile and more memorable for viewers.

🧠 Brains process images faster than words—pictures can be recognized in a fraction of a second!

🔢 Simple charts like bar and pie charts let people compare numbers quickly without lots of text.

📊 The first modern pie chart was published by William Playfair in 1801, helping people see numbers at a glance.

🎨 With just three primary pigment colors (red, yellow, blue) you can mix lots of new shades for your infographic.

How do I make a kid-friendly infographic step by step?

Choose a simple topic and one clear message. Help your child gather 3–5 key facts, then sketch a layout with a title, 2–4 sections, and a small chart area. Pick a bright color scheme and draw or stick icons for each point. Create basic charts (bar, pie, or pictograph) using markers and labels. Add stickers and labels, proofread for clarity, and let the child present their infographic to family.

What materials do I need to create a paper infographic with kids?

You’ll need plain or colored paper or poster board, markers, colored pencils or crayons, ruler, scissors and glue, stickers or printed icons, sticky notes for planning, and a pencil for sketching. For data charts, use a template or draw simple bars/pies; a compass or circle templates can help. Optional: printed images, washi tape, and a list of facts or small dataset to visualize.

What ages is this infographic activity suitable for?

This activity suits a wide age range: ages 5–7 can make picture-based infographics with adult help; 8–11 can plan layouts and draw simple charts with some supervision; 12+ can design more detailed layouts and work with basic data independently. Adjust complexity, cutting tasks, and the level of data analysis to match the child’s skills and provide scissors supervision for younger kids.

What are the benefits of making infographics with children?

Creating infographics builds visual literacy, summarizing skills, and basic data sense by turning facts into charts. It strengthens planning, fine motor skills, and vocabulary while boosting confidence through presentation. The activity encourages creativity, critical thinking about what information matters, and collaboration when done in groups. It’s a low-cost way to combine art and learning that supports classroom and at-home projects.
