My nephew did this project in school, a few years ago, so we got to spend the weekend with his Flat Stanley. It was so much fun!
During F week, we will start reading “Flat Stanley” by Jeff Brown. It has 80 pages, so we’ll read a little each day and whenever we finish is great.
- Cut out a Flat Stanley from a piece of blank paper and decorate it to look something like a person.
- Take Flat Stanley around with you during your day and take pictures of some of the things he does with you. I will have my preschooler tell me what he has done with Flat Stanley and I will write it down for him in a “Adventures of Flat Stanley” book.
- Mail Flat Stanley
- Fold him up, put him in an envelope (add a note explaining your project and send him on his way to Grandma’s house or cousins living in another city, state or country)
- I’ll ask them to take Flat Stanley along with them during their day, take pictures of the adventures he has with them and write a little about his experience, then send him back. My kids will love getting mail.
- Map Stanley’s Adventures … We will keep track of all the places Flat Stanley has visited on a map.
These are the pages we sent back to my nephew after our weekend with his Flat Stanley.
