The Flat Stanley Swap!


The Flat Stanley Swap!

Join freckle face for a fun and adventurous project!

Flat Stanley is the story of a boy that was flattened when a bulletin board fell down and crushed him. No need to worry, he was ok. As a matter of fact he was happy because this enabled him to be mailed in an envelope, fly like a kite, and do many other things he couldn’t have done before he was flat.

That is the original story of Flat Stanley. But now, with your help, we are going to add a whole new chapter!

Beginning February 15th:
Come and pick up a Flat Stanley at freckle face. Personalize him yourself (you could even make him a Flat Stacey instead). Then...give Flat Stanley to a friend or relative for a couple of weeks. Have him or her take Flat Stanley on their favorite adventures and record them.**

No later than April 11th: He or she should drop off the completed Flat Stanley adventure journal to freckle face and we will display it at the next Gallery Night & Day - April 18th & 19th.

April 18th & 19th- Gallery Night & Day:
Come to freckle face and find your Flat Stanley on display and see all of his travels. Perhaps your friend took Flat Stanley to a park you never heard of, or on a plane ride to another city. Maybe you'll find out about certain places or things you didn't know about before.

After the show, you can take your Flat Stanley & his journal home with you to keep.

**If you want to take someone else's Flat Stanley on an adventure too, then pick up 2 Flat Stanley packages - one for you and one for your friend. After you both personalize them, swap, and let the adventures begin!

Flat Stanley

Familiar with the story of Flat Stanley?

The book, Flat Stanley is about a boy who gets flattened when a bulletin board falls on top of him, leaving him only 1/2" thick. But, Stanley is not hurt. As a matter of fact, amazing things start happening to him.

Stanley gets rolled up, mailed, and flown like a kite. The story continues with all the great adventures that Stanley embarks on due to his flat-ness.

The book was also inspiration for a common project in the classroom for young children. Each child makes their very own Flat Stanley, and then sends it to another child in a different classroom who takes and records Stanley's adventures with them. Then Stanley is returned to the original owner with a journal of his travels.

Often children take Stanley on vacations with them, or to the zoo, the museum, on a train or subway ride, sometimes out of the country. They get to take photos of Stanley with Mickey Mouse or just doing homework. The options are endless and the idea is to share the adventures with others so they can learn all about different places, people, and things they may not know about.

We'd like to have our customers join in on a Flat Stanley project with freckle face.

We'll provide the Flat Stanley and you provide the adventures and then bring them back to share with us. We'll take all the Flat Stanley's we get back and display them for the next Gallery Night in April.

Stay tuned for more details on how to participate......
