What can we use if we don't have poster board, sticky notes, or tape?

Use a large sheet of printer paper or a flattened cereal box as your poster, cut colored paper or index cards into sticky-note-sized pieces for the brainstorming step, and attach everything with glue, double-sided tape, or a glue stick when you stick or tape items to the poster.

What should we do if people give very short answers or refuse to be interviewed?

If an interviewee gives one-word answers during the interviews, ask a polite follow-up like 'why do you feel that way?' and write a short meaningful quote from their answer to use for the quote sticky note on your poster.

How can this activity be changed for younger children or older kids?

For younger children (4–7), reduce brainstorming to 1–2 pros and cons and use drawings with an adult writing the one-sentence opinion on the poster, while older kids (11+) can interview more people, include brief online facts or photos, and type and print quotes to glue onto the poster before sharing on DIY.org.

How can we extend or personalize the poster beyond the basic instructions?

Personalize the poster by color-coding pros and cons with markers, adding photos or small drawings near the big title, creating a simple tally or bar chart of interview responses to tape on the poster, and practicing the presentation as described before sharing on DIY.org.

How do I help my child make a pros-and-cons poster, interview others, and present findings about makeup?

Start by explaining the activity and balancing viewpoints. Help your child divide a poster into 'pros' and 'cons' columns, adding simple headings and drawing or writing points. Brainstorm ideas together, then role‑play interview questions. Supervise short interviews with friends or family, reminding them to be polite and listen. Record answers on paper or a tablet. Finally, practice a 2–3 minute presentation at home highlighting diverse opinions and what your child learned about respect and choi

What materials do we need to do a makeup pros-and-cons poster and interview activity?

Bring a clipboard or notebook and a pen for interview notes, plus a simple recording device (phone or tablet) if parents agree. Provide question prompts printed or written out, and optional magazines or printouts for collage. Keep non-toxic supplies and scissors with supervision. Substitute with a digital slideshow if preferred.

What ages is this makeup opinion activity suitable for and how can I adapt it?

This activity suits ages 6–14 with adaptations: younger kids (6–8) focus on simple pros/cons and drawing; supervise interviews and limit questions. Ages 9–11 can write short answers and conduct brief, guided interviews. Teens (12–14+) can research, prepare interview consent, and analyze patterns in responses. Adjust complexity, length of interviews, and presentation expectations to match attention span and reading/writing ability. Always supervise interactions and ensure consent from interviewee

What are the benefits of this activity and how can I keep interviews safe or vary the project?

Benefits include critical thinking, empathy, communication, and respect for differing opinions. The activity teaches evidence-based reasoning and listening skills while boosting confidence to present views.
