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.
