Take a flat “friend” along on your family’s summer vacation, snap photos of him or her in front of the Eiffel Tower, Washington Monument, Grand Canyon, or wherever you are heading and send OWTK your best shot (with caption). We will post the best pictures on OutWithTheKids.com!
Visit the official site of Flat Stanley for more information on the literacy aspect of this fun little project. The site encourages children to write stories about their adventures with Flat Stanley. This could be used as an introduction to 3rd person writing as your child will begin to craft stories about someone or something else, other than themselves.
Flat Stanley offers your child a wonderful opportunity to expand their abilities, put pen (pencil, or crayon) to paper and weave a tale all their own.
