How do I pass this? 'Assign all children of UL to the Constant'

Ive tried multiple different appendChild(); methods and nothing seems to work.

cant I append all children with that method?

I think you might have misread the instructions. They say: "Using DOM traversal, assign all children of the ul to the constant lis".

Note that it is saying to assign the children to the constant, not append them to another element.

Thank for your help. it was literally just 'ul.children'. which is funny to me considering Reggie didn't use that method once in this whole course haha.

There are several ways to get that result, including methods shown in the videos.
But the one you used is probably the simplest. Good job!
