Q&A for How to Make a Spy Kit

A white crayon and a marker. Write a message with the white crayon on a white peice of paper, then scribble the marker on top of the crayon.

Be stealthy, and don't tell anyone that you are a spy. Also, don't be seen watching people too closely, because they might become suspicious.

No, you don't have to be a boy. K.C Undercover is a very successful girl spy, and she is only 16 years old. Girls can do anything boys can do.

You should dress as casually as possible to blend in so nobody will know that you're a spy.

If you use your phone, you can pretend to be taking a selfie but really be zooming in on your suspect. The phone may not be small, but it isn't obvious.

Look for places that are away from foot traffic and not in a line of sight, like under a bench, inside a tree, behind bushes, or under a mat.

You can be almost any age to be a successful spy!

It usually depends on where you are. Hiding in plain sight is one of the best-known and well-used spy tricks. If you are spying in a house, hiding above, in a closet or another less noticed or unused part of the house works. If you are outside, try climbing trees, hiding in bushes and behind benches (this one only works if your target is distracted).

The code name could derive from the actions of the spy (e.g. "Scout"), the weapons the spy uses (e.g. "Sharps" if he or she uses a sword) or by last name (e.g. "Agent King").

I'm pretty sure that if you don't have flour you can use any one of baking soda, baking powder or cornstarch. If you don't have those things either just try using a white powder kind of like the things named.

No, but you can use baking soda or lemon juice. Check out the tips in this article about invisible ink messages on wikiHow.

They can have them, but if you are going on a stealthy mission, it is not wise to take them.

You could take an old thick belt that no one uses and attach some pockets made out of duct tape to store your gadgets.

Of course, but a casual bag would let you be able to blend in and not have anyone notice you.

Yes, you can team up with allies. Allies are our friends.

Unless you know how to weld, and have serious technological skills, you're better off buying a smart watch. But if you want your fellow spies to be able to communicate with you, you can buy mini cameras that you can attach to the watch. That way, they can listen in to your conversation.

Use a nail file and a lead pencil: scratch the pencil on the file to make a powder. Then, brush the powder on the object that has fingerprints. Once the powder is applied, use clear tape on the powdered fingerprint take it off.

Yes, you could definitely use white colored pencils as invisible ink!

There are videos on YouTube that can give you some tips, but you can also just buy a harness and some rope. (You should definitely ask your parents to help you with this though.)

Yes, but if you don't have a mirror use your phone's camera.

If you are going there after school, bring them in your backpack. If you aren't, pretend the stuff is for a game you are going to play at your friend's house.

Yes! Anyone you know can help you. I'm sure your little sister would love it.

You could make a paper gun with some rubber bands or some spy badges.

Practice your stealth skills by spying on friends and family for awhile. If you get caught, you'll face minimal consequences, but you'll be able to greatly increase your stealthiness.

You will need any white fine powder such as flour or cornstarch, clear tape, and black construction paper to put the fingerprints on.

Yes, you can work in a group, as long as you feel like you can trust the other people. I would suggest limiting it to 2-5 people in your group, though.

You probably could, but it would be best to use a light color of eye shadow. Flour works much better.

You could make a spy bag to hold all of your information in. You can use felt or even paper.

You could, but it may be too large to fit into it.
