What can we use if we don't have sturdy cardboard or a ruler?

Use flattened cereal-box or pizza-box cardboard as a substitute for sturdy cardboard and print a ruler from the internet or use a straight-edge like a paperback book when you measure and mark each cardboard piece.

My cut pieces keep tearing or the prototype falls apart—what should I do?

Before cutting, score fold lines lightly with the back of the scissors, cut one layer at a time, and reinforce joins from the underside with clear tape or hot glue when you assemble the cardboard pieces so the prototype stays sturdy.

How can I change the project for younger or older kids?

For younger kids, have an adult pre-measure and pre-cut the cardboard parts so they can focus on decorating and the rule card, while older kids can use the ruler for precise measurements and add moving parts or use a craft knife with supervision to make a more advanced prototype.

How can we make the feature more interactive or special after the first prototype?

After playtesting and making one improvement, add real or drawn buttons and screens with colored paper, and optionally small LEDs or a buzzer so players can press the feature during a short round and then update the rule card to explain the new interaction.
