Flat Stanley Goes Around The World

[rcymrcym]

OK Creative Types!

Since we are going to be missing a few days of school when we go to WDW in December, I wanted to have a little bit of learning going on. So, we are going to take Flat Stanley around to visit all the Father Christmas at Epcot. And I thought that it would be really neat if we dressed up Stanley in the clothing of that country.

But I can not find any sites with downloadable clothing. And I can not draw to save my life. Can anyone help, or has anyone done this before and would be able to give us some pointers?

We also were thinking maybe he would like to be a prince when we ate with Cinderella. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Great idea! My DD is doing Flat Stanley right now in her 2nd grade class.

I haven't tried these out, but here is a link:

Cannot help with the clothing ideas,,, but I loved when my kids did Flat Stanley.... When my son was little.. Flat Stanley 'visited' many places... including the hospital where I work. The staff helped out. ER doc and nurses all took pics w/him. Taking his temp, (orally of course) etc. we took pics of his adventures.. and the class loved it.

How lucky is that that you will have to opprtunity to take Stanley to WDW.
Good Luck and have fun!

I think it would be cute if your DD drew the outfits. I mean DS10 is no artist but Stanley looked cute colroed by him.

Have fun, it was such a cute project, DS did it 2 years ago and we were still talking about it the other day.

What a great idea! I teach geography (6th grade). Is Flat Stanley young for them or would they still go for it. Maybe a different "flat" something?

We havent received the project yet but I think fourth grade does something with teddy bears and tracking who they get sent to around the country or world. Try googling it maybe something will pop up.
