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......
