Hi snugs. I don't know who Flat Stanley is. A TV character, I think, but don't know for certain. Maybe Jonny knows?
Kids would draw and color him and then take him to the different places they visited and bring the pictures back for Show and Tell.
Let me go get the picture of the President with him......
Oh, heck you got me so curious I went and looked up Flat Stanley:
"In the book, Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown, Stanley is squashed flat by a falling bulletin board. One of the many advantages is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by travelling in an envelope. This premise provides a reason for us to keep in touch with each other. The Flat Stanley Project is a group of teachers who want to provide students with another reason to write. Students' written work goes to other places by conventional mail and e-mail. Check out the Flat Stanley List of Participants to see where you can send a Flat Stanley or who might be sending a Flat Stanley to you."
