Flat Stanley

I stole the following from Flat Stanley's Facebook page......

Flat Stanley is a 1964 children's book by Jeff Brown

The story goes...
Stanley Lambchop and his younger brother Arthur are given a big bulletin board by their Dad for putting pictures and posters on. He hangs it on the wall over Stanley's bed, but during the night the board falls from the wall, flattening Stanley in his sleep. He survives and makes the best of his altered state, and soon he is entering locked rooms by sliding under the door, and playing with his younger brother by being used as a kite. Stanley even helps catch some art museum thieves by posing as a painting on the wall. But one special advantage is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by being mailed in an envelope.

As the Librarian at Wynne primary school I would like to send Flat Stanley around the world in as many interesting places as possible. If you are interested in letting Stanley visit, please send my your address. You will keep Stanley for about a week and take pictures and maybe even write a short letter on what Stanley did during his stay!


Amy Searcy is the librarian at the Wynne Primary School. She let us know about her Flat Stanley project. Cool huh? I thought so....SO, we decided to take Flat with us to Fort Walton Beach!!! He had a lot of fun!! Here are some of the pictures.....

Flat and our GPS helped us get to Florida without getting lost!

When we got to Fort Walton Beach, Flat Stanley had to get his picture taken with the welcome sign!
Flat's view of the beach from our 7th floor condo.

Flat laid on the beach sunbathing. He made sure to use sunscreen so he wouldn't get burnt.

Tanning....

Playing on the beach!

Flat even took time to read a book while chillin' on the beach.

Flat got to fly "Molly" our butterfly kite! He REALLY liked that!!

Here, Flat is on a fishing boat in the Gulf of Mexico! He was very excited to go fishing!

This is the boat that took Flat fishing.

Flat really enjoyed sitting in this chair on our balcony and listen to the waves! So relaxing!

Flat was super proud of this big shell that he found!

Here Flat is with ALL the shells that he found!

Jonathan and I really had a good time with Flat Stanley. Probably more fun than we should have had!! lol We took him everywhere and got a lot more pics but I couldn't post them all! What a great idea to teach children about the different parts of the world! We kept Flat in case we go anywhere else cool this year.
