Bellafonte Elementary first graders pose with their edible image chocolates and Flat Stanley map.
Flat Stanley recently visited Tasty Image in our Jupiter, Florida store in Chasewood Plaza. Flat Stanley is a successful children's story series featuring a flat (and oddly mailable) little boy. This one comes to us from Bellafonte Elementary School in Bellafonte, PA!
Stanley Lambchop and his younger brother Arthur are given a big bulletin board by their Dad for displaying pictures and posters. He hangs it on the wall over Stanley's bed. 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. One special advantage is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by being mailed in an envelope. Stanley even helps catch some art museum thieves by posing as a painting on the wall. Eventually Arthur changes Stanley back to his proper shape with a bicycle pump.

My first grade class read the Flat Stanley books, and then each student created their own Flat Traveler. One of their homework assignments was to go home and talk with their family and get the address of one person they wanted to send their Flat Travelers to. This project has been wonderful! Some of our Flat Stanley's traveled to the beaches of Florida, South Carolina, and Mexico! Others traveled to the Pocono Mountains in PA, Cement City, Michigan, and New York City. Some of our adventurous Flat Travelers traveled west to Las Vegas, Nevada and Bellingham, Washington. One lucky Flat Traveler went overseas to visit China! This project really enhanced my students geography skills and taught them a lot of interesting information about places all over the world.
This is a picture of our class holding up our Flat Stanley chocolates from Tasty Image! We are sitting in front of our Flat Stanley bulletin board where we display all of the Flat Travelers as they return home.
