Flat Stanley visits Texas

Flat Stanley is the title character of a 1964 children's book by Jeff Brown. You can read about this book here.



The Flat Stanley Project provides an opportunity for students to make connections with students of other member schools who've signed up with the project. Students begin by reading the book and becoming acquainted with the story. Then they make paper "Flat Stanleys" and keep a journal for a few days, documenting the places and activities in which Flat Stanley is involved. The Flat Stanley and the journal are mailed to other people who are asked to treat the figure as a visiting guest and add to his journal, then return them both after a period of time.

My mom was asked to do this project for her niece's daughter, Korri who lives in Mississippi. These are the great pictures that she took. I just had to share them, doesn't she look cute?

Flat Stanley finally gets some playtime and travels to Texarkana to visit the state line between Arkansas and Texas.


Flat enjoys a fun movie. I bet he had popcorn too!


Flat also gets to enjoy a dipped cone! Lucky guy!
