Help!?
What can we use instead of flexible tubing if it's hard to find?
If flexible tubing isn't available, use a ready-made hula hoop or a pool noodle or soft PVC pipe from a hardware store and join the ends with duct tape as described in 'With an adult's help join the two tubing ends and tape them securely so the hoop holds its round shape.'
My hoop keeps coming apart or is sagging — what should I do?
If the hoop comes apart or sags, have an adult re-cut the tubing to the correct waist-height, overlap the ends tightly and reinforce the join with extra duct tape or zip ties as suggested in the 'With an adult's help join the two tubing ends and tape them securely' step.
How can I change the activity to suit younger or older kids?
For younger kids have an adult pre-cut and join a larger, more stable hoop and simplify the task to practicing one very easy move and taking one photo, while older kids can make a smaller hoop, add detailed decorations and practice a longer or more advanced move before assembling the title, points and photos.
How can we make the presentation more exciting or personal?
Enhance the project by following 'Decorate your hoop with tape or markers' with themed stickers or LED tape, take clear photos and a short video of your one-minute demonstration, and include those visuals with your catchy title and two or three points before you 'Share your finished creation on DIY.org.'
